Ah, first of all, you should remove the "rhgb quiet" from the grub.conf
files, so the graphics doesn't start at boot time. Set runlevel to 3
in /etc/inittab. You can then try to start the graphics manually
with the startx command after you've logged in.

You should check out the patches mentioned in:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46676

My EM64T 4G machine runs with the patches
1165235, 1171869, and 1175225.

I use the following script to install the NVIDIA driver
after a kernel upgrade:

#!/bin/bash

rm -rf NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6629-pkg2
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6629-pkg2.run --extract-only
cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6629-pkg2
patch -p0 <../NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-6629-1165235.diff.txt
patch -p0 <../NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-6629-1171869.diff.txt
patch -p0 <../NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-6629-1175225.diff.txt
sleep 2
./nvidia-installer

The "sleep 2" is just to see that the patches went in
OK before starting the installer.
