Why would you use the radeon driver if you have nvidia card? that
doesn't make a bit of sense.

All ATI cards use the fglrx driver...

yum install kmod-fglrx  # for ATI cards
yum install kmod-nvidia # for nVidia cards

I had to remove the packages and re-install (and restart) to get things
working but they are working (livna kmod-fglrx)

try logging in as root

# init 3
# system-config-display --reconfig

set display configuration (remember nvidia is the livna module, nv is
the xorg, fglrx is livna module, radeon is xorg)
