[mythtv-users] Problems With Nvidia Drivers and Fedora 12

While I generally do not want to mix rpmfusion and atrpms (I use 
atrpms) I followed the instructions to get the nvidia drivers working 
on Fedora 12 that were listed here.

http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia#head-205aab6f190d363e3915c0fa2e0681fc392aaeb6

I did

# mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
# dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

and added

rdblacklist=nouveau

to the end of the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf

# yum install kmod-nvidia exited with a conflict error between 
already installed nvidia-graphics190.42-190.42-119.fc12 and 
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-190.42-5.fc12

Rebooting without kmod-nvidia still ends in a loop trying to start the GUI.

Any ideas?
