Please give us the output of /usr/sbin/nvidia-graphics-switch. Then
try running
/usr/sbin/nvidia-graphics-switch 4363
(best in runlevel 3)

check that "lsmod | grep nvidia" gives no output and restart X.

If that fixes your setup, there was something wrong with the
installation, as the above command is automatically executed upon
installation of the rpms.
