Hi Sean, First, some tips that might get your Nvidia setup to work:
Check to see if you're actually using the nvidia card by running "vglrun glxinfo | grep -i opengl" in a terminal from within the VNC session. If that says Nvidia, then you're using the Nvidia card. I had an issue with my Nvidia cards only an abysmal 1 frame per second. I found a fix by setting "HardDPMS" to false in the Device section of the Xorg.conf file. Here is the bash snippet that I use to fix my servers, but you'll need to modify to your xorg.conf path to fir your situation. grep -qs HardDPMS /etc/X11/xorg.1.conf || sed -i '/Identifier "Device0"/i \ \ \ Option "HardDPMS" "false"' /etc/X11/xorg.1.conf As for removing the nvidia module, have you tried blacklisting the kernel modules and rebuilding your initrd?
