Added nvidia-legacy drivers from rpmForge. X could not start.
 From Xorg.0.log:
(II) LoadModule: "bitmap"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module "bitmap"
(II) UnloadModule: "bitmap"
(EE) Failed to load module "bitmap" (module does not exist, 0)
(II) LoadModule: "pcidata"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module "pcidata"
(II) UnloadModule: "pcidata"
(EE) Failed to load module "pcidata" (module does not exist, 0)

Fatal server error:
Unable to load required base modules, Exiting...

Hmmm... Upon inspecting xorg.conf, I find dri is set to load (bad) glx 
is set to load (good), and nothing about glcore... Time to edit that by 
hand, according to Michael's previous notes...
