Fedora 35 segmentation fault on startx

[mareg]

Installed a fresh Fedora 35 MATE-Compiz spin, installed the nvidia drivers following these steps:

dnf config-manager --add-repo=https://negativo17.org/repos/fedora-nvidia.repo
dnf -y install nvidia-driver nvidia-settings
dnf -y nvidia-driver-libs.i686

Rebooted my OS after installation and while I could see the login screen, desktop session wouldn't start. Switched back to the console and tried to run the startx command, got the following error in the Xorg.1.log:

What have I done wrong? :see_no_evil:

Xorg.1.log

[h3o66]

even if this issue is really old, i would assume that you forgot the akmod / dkms kernel driver that this can work
