GAggghhhh!

I get the same thing even before GDM comes up. I can SSH in, but the
response is slow. top indicates that a process called Xorg is eating
the CPU with 99+% CPU usage. I had maybe a minute, then it locked up.

Having edited /etc/inittab to change the run level, I then tried to
reboot by appending "init 3" to the linux command line in grub. No go;
the system could not transition from the initrd to the hard drive. I
finally booted to tomsrtbt and changed inittab back. That worked; I am
now in run level 3.

I have no other users (other than root). I have not tried it as root,
except as above.

Everything was working fine until I installed the two nvidia rpms.

What kind of motherboard are you using?
Have you verified that you're using the latest BIOS?
