[ATrpms-users] ATrpms Nvidia driver not working

[Javier Perez]

Help.
The nvidia-graphics driver is not working. 

I was using the nvidia driver downloaded from the
nvidia website and installed using the nvidia
installer.
It worked fine and below is my xorg.conf

Testing out to see if I could solve my missing
timeline editor, I decided to  uninstall the nvidia
driver and use the ATrpms driver.

I do not know why but it is not working. Right after
installing with yum and rebooting, the X server
complains.

I am using the "nv" driver right now.

What could it be?

Here is my original xorg.conf

My "Monitor" is a Television set. 

I wonder, maybe the "DRI" is the culprit here and the
xorg should be assembled at the begining without DRI
I don't know.
