You will find the first problem in the list archive some months ago. If
I remember correctly, it is due to the fact that you have a different
driver install in parallel, like from the rpm.livna.org RPM.
The other issue comes from udev and that you may still have to care for
it manually following

although I thought the new NVidia driver has now better udev support.
