OK, to see whether the issue is related to Xorg nouveau video module for NVIDIA graphics chipsets i.e. 'nouveau_drv.so', temporarily you can replace it with the Xorg basic modesetting fallback video module i.e. 'modesetting_drv.so'.

# yum install xorg-x11-drv-modesetting

Create a file "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-modesetting.conf"
with the following four lines:
Section "Device"
     Identifier "video0"
     Driver     "modesetting"
EndSection

After that restart X, or simply reboot. :)
Everything is visible?
