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!
