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.

Banishing nouveau and rebooting seems to have worked.
