First, revert everything you have done. :) Especially make sure you do not have anything from Nvidia. Then install kmod-nvidia from ELRepo as detailed here: http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia It will take care of blacklisting nouveau if that has already been installed. Also there is a howto in the SL forums: http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=15 Akemi
