First login in runtime 3 and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
The line Containing should be changed to "Driver vesa" (no quotes needed)
Now you reboot (or restart X) and login, you will be able to run an X 
environment, but you will nog have any drm or 3d support
For that download your driver at :
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
yum install kernel-devel
and then run the file downloaded from nvidia
I seem never to have any luck being able to use the standard yum 
procedure, the above works always for me, but adds more work as you need 
to do this every time your kernel changes
