I have continued trying to fix this issue.  I rolled back to
nvidia-graphics version 173_14_22.

I realized part of my problem was that edits were being made to
/etc/modprobe.conf and that apparently is no longer used in fedora 12.
 I removed that file and made edits to /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf and
have these lines in there:
alias char-major-195 nvidia-173_14_22
alias nvidia nvidia-173_14_22


I still get the same errors in my xorg log and dmesg with the addition
of this line in dmesg: [drm] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: Setting dpms mode 1
on tmds encoder (output 2)

I have tried manually loading the nvidia driver by doing a modprobe
nvidia and get this error:
FATAL: Error inserting nvidia_173_14_22
(/lib/modules/2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686/updates/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidia-173_14_22.ko):
No such device

However, I do have that file:
[root at localhost ~]# locate nvidia-173_14_22.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.31.5-127.fc12.i686/updates/drivers/video/nvidia/nvidia-173_14_22.ko

Any ideas what is going on here?
