1. Nobody here owes you a thing.  Complaining that no one answers your questions doesn't inspire the people who are willing to help
2. There is not any VGA mode.  You would want to stop gdm spawning X sessions.  The easiest way of doing this is using the init command and as root run the command:

init 4

3. when you have the new nvidia driver installed it is just a matter of running the command "init 5".  No reboot required
4. I strongly suggest using the NVIDIA installer.  Rpm's are pretty brain dead.  The installer will do some thinking about what is on your machine and alert you to any problems

I am sure that there are many forums that you could also find that will help you if you don't have any luck with the help offered here.  Quiet I find searching in Google with the error messages I get helpful.

Good luck and let us know how you go.

Cheers,

Ronnie Beck
