I believe this error is actually in regards to the kernel module, not the X
driver. One of the alias lines inserted into /etc/modprobe.conf by the ATrpms
packages is probably causing this... If you have this line in there:
alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-7174
...try commenting it out. And if you have this:
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-7174
...drop the -1_0-7174 part.
For ease of switching from one nvidia driver version to another, the actual
kernel module as installed by the ATrpms packages is nvidia_1_0_7174 instead
of just nvidia.
