Here everything would have worked.

Here you broke it. But that is not your fault, because it's a bad idea 
to ship a tool (to make it worse: a tool that is needed according to 
many howtos) in the RPM Fusion package that breaks things. And it's very 
bad for RPM Fusions reputation.

system-config-display will break things as well. Steward (the package 
maintainer) is thinking about a proper fix for issues like this.

To get it work do this:

system-config-display --reconfig
nvidia-config-display --enable
