I am the same guy who is still struggling with the installation of nvidia drivers. Done a nvidia-xconfig after installing akmod-nvidia and not rebooting. Below find the read-out. Pray this will help someone to aid in the problem of not being able to install my nvidia drivers. Thanks in advance.

P.S. This is the read-out of "startx"

FWIW, you *could*, as root, drop to runlevel 3, rmmod the nouveau drivers, do a "akmods --force" and have the kmod-nvidia driver built, then do an lsmod | grep nvidia and see if the nvidia driver was modprobed (I think the akmods build will do the modprobe).  If you have nvidia in at that point then you should be able to do the nvidia-xconfig and return to runlevel 5.

I did a runlevel drop to 3 now I can't get rpm -qa | grep nvidia* to work.
