An xorg.conf that was exactly the same was written.

Yes this one, in dmesg:

NVRM: API mismatch: the client has version 185.18.31 but this kernel
module has version 185.18.14

If I boot with kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.x86_64 and I uninstall/install
kmod-nvidia, I still get version 185.18.14.

If I boot with kernel 2.6.29.6-217.2.9.fc11.x86_64 and I uninstall/install
kmod-nvidia, will I get version 185.18.31 ?

BTW, when I booted and could get nowhere, I opened a terminal and tried to
see the messages that had gone by. Shift + PageUP used to give access to
previous boot screens in Linux. What is it in Fedora?
