[elrepo] No old kmod-nvidia in the repos?

[Henry C]

Actually I ran into an issue that I couldn't start gdm.  When I tried to
start it, it showed a black graphical screen for like 5 seconds with a
mouse cursor and then went back to text mode with a flashing key cursor.

I checked x11's log.  It is clean except it complains about not able to
reporting events to acpi, which it seems not an issue as I saw other people
reported online.
