Upon reboot ( atrpms, 8774 Nvidia, 2174 kernel ) I get this message:

NVRM: API mismatch: the client has the version 1.0-8774, but
NVRM: this kernel module has the version 1.0-8762.  Please
NVRM: make sure that this kernel module and all NVIDIA driver
NVRM: components have the same version.

If I execute: nvidia-graphics-switch 8774
I can startx again and all is well.  But this does not survive the reboot.
Here is my modprobe as well:
alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-8774
alias nvidia nvidia-1_0-8774

So I am not sure what is up?  What does the nvidia-graphics-switch do 
that is being un-done?
