Hi Phil,

Wow.  You called it.

When I first went to "init 3", I made a link

     ln -s /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/xorg.conf

After I installed the kmod-nvidia drivers, I recheck
the /etc/X11 directory:

#ls -al /etc/X11

You will notice that my "xorg.conf" link got renamed
"xorg.conf.elreposave" and a new "xorg.conf" was never
recreated.

Me thinks that
      # nvidia-xconfig
        Using X configuration file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
        Backed up file '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' as \
             '/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup'
        New X configuration file written to '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'

was never called by the post install scripts as there
was no xorg.conf.

Renaming the link "/etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup" to "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
and rebooting fixed the problem.

Question: does ELRepo have a bug tracker?  Or is reporting the
bug here enough?

Thank you so much.  This problem about drove me nuts!
