Description David LUCAS 2014-05-30 10:19:10 CEST 
Description of problem:
X is configured to start at boot, when nvidia proprietary driver is selected, X11 fails to start. 
Choosing nouveau driver, X11 can start. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nvidia-current-kernel-3.14.4-desktop-3.mga5-331.79-2.mga5.nonfree
dkms-nvidia-current-331.79-1.mga5.nonfree

How reproducible:
running XFdrake, choose the proprietary driver, and test the configuration: it cannot start. Xorg.9.log displays:
