Yeah, that is all a part of the directions that I have been using:
http://fedorasolved.org/video-solutions/nvidia-yum-kmod

Unfortunately, RIGHT at the time that X should be starting, and a login screen 
coming up, the screen goes black and after a few seconds, the monitor goes into 
powersave mode and the power button changes from white to a tannish color (the 
color that says that there is no signal.
So, I obviously can't get into X to do anything.  Not only that, but I can't do 
"Ctrl | Alt | F2" to get into console mode...  Also, the following don't work:
Ctrl | Alt | Backspace 	Obviously, since I can't even get to X
Ctrl | Alt | Delete

My only choice is pushing the reset button...

Feel free to study the rest of this thread and see if you can figure out why it 
is not working for me...
