Go there and untick: Allow livna-config-display to edit configuration

Best is to install akmod, it will compile automatically your nvidia
driver everytime you need it when your kernel is updated

<pre wrap=""><!---->
I would do:
1- switch to init 3 (]# init 3)
2- install akmod-nvidia (]# yum install akmod-nvidia)
This should install akmod-nvidia, kmod-nvidia, xorg-x11-drv-nvidia,
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs
3- switch to init 5 (]# init 5)
This will install the nvidia module for your kernel.
If you need to have your own xorg.conf file you must disable
livna-config-display, to prevent it to write a new xorg.conf file,
erasing the one you prepared...

I know why: you have set "reply to" in your mail config, doing so, when
I reply to your mail to the list, a mail is sent directly to you...
Good luck.
