Rather Interesting Mistake

I have two Fedora boxs in identidal cases. One has an ATI card, the other NVIDIA. I accidentally installed ATI drivers on the nvidia card and it actally works. Glxgears is a little slow, but glxinfo show just about everything loaded and working!

Go figure.

Proper drivers installed. Now however, I'm getting an error message at the very end of boot up saying, "ATI Kernel Module.xxxxxxxxx.........................[Failed].
I have un-installed the the ATI Kernel Module via Yumex.
How to get rid if it?

I think it puts in a startup script to check for something or other. Go into the menu Desktop > System Settings > Server Settings > Services and see if there is something there and turn off ati-fglrx, or do the same with chkconfig. Or remove file /etc/rc.d/init.d/ati-fglrx , and links to it from /etc/rc.d/rc?.d/S98ati-fglrx
