Nobody here owes you a thing. Complaining that no one answers your questions doesn't inspire the people who are willing to help 2. There is not any VGA mode. You would want to stop gdm spawning X sessions. The easiest way of doing this is using the init command and as root run the command: init 4 3. when you have the new nvidia driver installed it is just a matter of running the command "init 5". No reboot required 4. I strongly suggest using the NVIDIA installer. Rpm's are pretty brain dead. The installer will do some thinking about what is on your machine and alert you to any problems I am sure that there are many forums that you could also find that will help you if you don't have any luck with the help offered here. Quiet I find searching in Google with the error messages I get helpful. Good luck and let us know how you go.
