"You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X 
configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root) and restart the 
X-server.

I also discovered that I now have 2 screen resolutions: 640x480 & 800 
x600, but my LCD can take more than that.  So there is an improvement 
after following the installation advices.

There are now a couple of Nvidia options in the hardware part of
System > Administration > Display but I was thrown out of X using one of 
them, so I have dropped that so far something is obviously missing.
 
Then: nvidia-config is quite elusive. It does not execute on my computer 
(under root)
I dont find it in Add/Remove software, yum search does not help much, 
nor does

rpm -q --filesbypkg  so where could it be?
