Hello,
I installed the nvidia driver via yum from RPMFusion and lsmod confirms that nvidia is loaded and nouveau is not.
But when I run the NVIDIA X Server Settings (KDE on F20), it claims I do not appear to be running the NVIDIA driver and should configure it by running nvidia-xconfig as root and restarting the X server.
nvidia-xconfig creates an new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file (see below). Previously, no /etc/X11/xorg.conf file existed.
Then, when I try to re-start X, it will not start saying no screens found, until I remove the xorg.conf file and then everything is back to normal, including NVIDIA X Server Settings saying that I do not appear to be running the NVIDIA driver.
Did some googling and followed some advice to set the BusID in xorg.conf, but did not help.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Best, Oliver

Give us the output from this command:
lspci | grep VGA
Hello Oliver,
would you please also state which graphics card you are using?

Hello,
[oruebenacker@localhost ~]$ lspci | grep VGA 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (rev 09) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [NVS 5400M] (rev a1)
Does that also answer the question about which card I'm using, or how would I find that out?
Thanks!
Best, Oliver

You have one of those nVidia Optimus pairings with a primary Intel card and a secondary nVidia card. I've seen lots of frustrated postings regarding people trying to get the nVidia portion to work.
Check your Xorg0.log file to see what the X11 server thinks is going on.
Thanks!
Best, Oliver
