I understood your problem this way:
Booting works: You can switch consoles. Graphical mode or X doesn't work
because you have a black login screen (with or without Xen).
/var/log/messages and /var/log/Xorg.0.log might have some report of the failure.

You might still have a working pre-3.1.2 kernel in Grub2 menu around that works
as a temporary solution.

Are all your RPM packets up to date with "yum upgrade"?
Fedora Bugzilla is a good place to search and report these problems.
NVidia Open source Kernel module developers want to get failure reports to fix
regressions and other problems.
Fedora test kernels are worth to check too: there might already be a fix coming.
