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

<pre wrap="">ctrl-alt F2, F3... etc. will get you a command line session.
Have you run this ?

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.

<pre wrap="">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.<br>

Ok, so you're in runlevel 3 (if you're using F16 then you would do
this, as root, by doing " systemctl isolate runlevel3.target" in a
terminal). Do the following as root:<br>
<br>
1). lsmod | grep nouveau<br>
<br>
If you see nouveau modules installed then you need to "rmmod
nouveau"<br>
<br>
2). Once that is done, do "akmods --force" (this will build and
probably load the nvdia driver).<br>
<br>
3). lsmod | grep nvidia<br>
<br>
If you *don't* see nvidia, try doing a "modprobe nvidia" and
then redo the lsmod in step 3; it should be loaded at that point.<br>
<br>
4). assuming all of this has worked, do your "nvidia-xconfig".<br>
<br>
5). assuming *that* works, then do "systemctl isolate
runleve5.target". This *should* put you back to an X-Windows
session using the nvidia driver.<br>
