The main problem I usually had when switching from nouveau to nvidia or
vice 
versa is the fact that nouveau is built in the initrd so that KMS can be
used.

If you want to switch to nvidia, you have to blacklist nouveau, and then
re-
generate the initrd


I *think* that the rpmfusion nvidia package already generated a
blacklist-nouveau
file in modprobe.d. I this is true, you'd just have to recreate the initrd
with dracut.


Here is the howto I found on rpmfusion :
