I do as in debian, and having problems with nouveau too: download nvidia binary and chmod +x, then 1) switch to console (ctrl+alt+F2) and login as root. 1b) `initctl stop prefdm' to bring down graphical environment 1c) rmmod -fv nouveau 2) yum install kernel-headers (or kernel-PAE-devel, don't remember; pay attention to PAE or not-pae according to your system) 3) cd to nvidia binary directory 3b) `./NVIDIA...' 3c) hope all go well 4) hack /etc/X11/xorg.conf trought nvidia-xconfig and with nano usually Option "NoLogo" "true" and Option "DPI" "72x72" or something 5) initctl start prefdm That's to repeat whenever a kernel upgrade happen, as booting bring you a black screen you can ctrl+alt+F2 Actually a bit unpractical, but that is: closed driver, focus on backstage.
