I guess that's after you uninstalled nvidia-settings, right?

Well, that is one aspect of the problem:
If you freshly install the nvidia driver, you _will_ have nvidia-settings.
If you then install nvidia-settings, the driver's version gets overwritten and 
is gone.
If you uninstall nvidia-settings again, the binary (/usr/bin/nvidia-settings) 
gets removed, although it originally was installed together with the driver.

Try to run "rpm -V x11-video-nvidiaG03" and you will get messages about 
missing files. (provided you installed the driver using the rpm)

Or try to reinstall the driver _without_ installing the package "nvidia-
settings". You should be able to run nvidia-settings nonetheless.

Kind regards,
