This seems to be experienced with various place. But doesn't seems a
problem with the nvidia driver itself.
(the driver works). For some reason the package that provides the
kernel module hasn't been updated along with the driver, or stayed
installed along...
Are you using akmod-nvidia ?
If you do:
yum remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia (better to rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf then).
Do you have a nvidia.ko or nvidia package that remains installed.
lsmod |grep nouveau
rpm -qa |grep nvidia
Hello all,
I am receiving the same error as well. It seems to happen not only with the
driver packaged by rpmfusion but also the package from nvidia. Driver 180.60
does not seem to have this problem however. I am not using the akmod-nvidia
however I did try it and it does not seem to make a difference I still receive
the same error.

I did find a solution to this problem, however, I had to follow these
directions in this post and everything seems to be working now:

This came from a post to rpmfusion-users list.
