    I did both of those earlier. I got a new kmod-nvidia file from the

What I want is a way to get the broken init call deleted. If I goto
/etc/rc.d/init.d/ I see the nvidia init entry and would like to
un-install it. But I do not know how to.

One of the cool things about rpm is it maintains a database of which
package is responsible for which file.  When you have a question like
that, you can do

rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/rc.d/init.d/nvidia

or whatever the actual filename is.  If any package owns it, it will be
shown, and you can rpm -e the package to get rid of it wholesale.

If no package claims it, it's up to you to nuke it by hand.

WOW! It sure did work fine! The rpm -q --whatprovides worked and I deleted that rpm and then reran the run file and here I am back up with a 1280x1024 screen. Beats the heck out of 800x600 :-)
