You might find in your Xorg.0.log that it complains it couldn't load GLX
I had this too, I just had to make sure these lines were in my xorg.conf
Section "Files"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/default/Type1"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/nvidia/xorg"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection
you might find these lines in it, and for some reason it loads the GLX
driver....
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers"
ModulePath "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"

Hi,
Would that be 00-nvidia.conf by any chance? It contained the correct
lines minus the font line, which I added to no avail.
xorg.conf itself only contains these lines:
# RPM Fusion - nvidia-xorg.conf
#
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Here's a pastebin link to my Xorg.0.log:

Thanks!
