I was looking for "xorg.conf" in "/etc/X11" and realize that there is 
not present, so i tried this solution:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_create_xorg.conf

Then I modified on /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
         ### Available Driver options are:-
         ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
         ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz",
         ### <percent>: "<f>%"
         ### [arg]: arg optional
         #Option     "SWcursor"                  # [<bool>]
         #Option     "HWcursor"                  # [<bool>]
         #Option     "NoAccel"                   # [<bool>]
         #Option     "ShadowFB"                  # [<bool>]
         #Option     "VideoKey"                  # <i>
         #Option     "WrappedFB"                 # [<bool>]
         #Option     "GLXVBlank"                 # [<bool>]
         #Option     "ZaphodHeads"               # <str>
         #Option     "PageFlip"                  # [<bool>]
         #Option     "SwapLimit"                 # <i>
         #Option     "AsyncUTSDFS"               # [<bool>]
         #Option     "AccelMethod"               # <str>
         #Option     "DRI"                       # <i>
         Identifier  "Card1"
         Driver      "nvidia" =======================> it was "nouveau"
         BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

nVidia Driver still doesn't working.
