2. There is not any VGA mode. You would want to stop gdm spawning X sessions. The easiest way of doing this is using the init command and as root run the command:
init 4
3. when you have the new nvidia driver installed it is just a matter of running the command "init 5". No reboot required
4. I strongly suggest using the NVIDIA installer. Rpm's are pretty brain dead. The installer will do some thinking about what is on your machine and alert you to any problems
I am sure that there are many forums that you could also find that will help you if you don't have any luck with the help offered here. Quiet I find searching in Google with the error messages I get helpful.
Good luck and let us know how you go.
Cheers,
