Hi Jeremy,

Are all kernels affected?

Are you able to uninstall affected kernel(s) and reinstall them.

Are you able to try plugging in a USB keyboard to see if that works.

To be honest, other than this seems to have been triggered when you 
installed the nvidia drivers, this doesn't look like an elrepo issue and 
I'm struggling to know what the issue may be or suggest things that may 
help.
