Display woes

Hey,

A couple of display woes afoot:

1) I'm having a bit of difficulty getting the latest nvidia graphics  
drivers to run ( installed from atrpms via yum), here's what happens:

# yum install nvidia-graphics8762
-- all OK

# nvidia-graphics-switch 8762
# tail /var/log/messages
-- snip --
Jun  2 23:56:12 benlancaster yum: Installed: nvidia- 
graphics8762.x86_64 1:1.0_8762-72.rhfc5.at
Jun  2 23:56:24 benlancaster kernel: NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux  
x86_64 Kernel Module  1.0-8762  Mon May 15 13:58:14 PDT 2006

# init 5
# tail /var/log/messages
Jun  2 23:56:46 benlancaster init: Switching to runlevel: 5
Jun  2 23:56:47 benlancaster kernel: NVRM: not using NVAGP, kernel  
was compiled with GART_IOMMU support!!

2) I can't seem to disable DPMS (screen blanking). My xorg.conf  
contains:
Option      "dpms" "false"
... in the right section, and I've also used:
/usr/X11R6/bin/xset -dpms
...in my ~/.Xclients startup script (which is being successfully  
executed)

All in all, I'm pretty stumped! Any pointers would be gratefully  
received.
