Kevin, I'm sure you went over this. Already, but maybe you can tell us what last (relevant ) lines are in messages are and what X.log has? -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

After I installed the kmod-nvidia package again, I restarted and modified the kernel arguements to include the intel.disable=1 arguement, but the result was the same....eventually the screen flickered a few times and it stopped booting, although I could still open a terminal via alt+F2. I'm not sure what to try next. Someone requested some command output from me in a different email, which I provided, but I'm lost now. I didn't think it would be this difficult.
