The above assuming you are running F16...  I haven't followed your
thread closely.  Sorry.

Yes. I can not get a graphical screen back once I install nvidia drivers so
I am unable to give you anymore information.

ctrl-alt F2, F3... etc. will get you a command line session.

Have you run this ?
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
Linux guy:
Yes.  After I doing all you have ask me to do, I am still not able to get the nvidia drivers to work. Could I send
you a picture of my screen to your private email address as it will be to large to send to this email address.
The picture shows you what I get after installation and reboot.
jesus christ you have to explain "I did a runlevel drop to 3 now I can't
get rpm -qa | grep nvidia* to work." first because it seems you are
doing randomly things without understanding what they are supposed to do

you have to make sure that the "nouveau" drivers are not get loaded
or unload them manually to test anything



I went to inittab at root and changed the runlevel to 3 because I was told that sometimes you have to change the runlevel in order to get the nividia drivers install and then do a nvidia-xconfig to change it back to runlevel 5. Sorry for the confusion but I am thoroughly confused about all of this. I wish I sent my laptop to you. I believe it is something simple but I am not able to define in tech terms so all of you though you mean well are not able to help because I am not able to explain or demonstrate what is that's going on.
