I can run without vga=normal, but if I run without nomodeset, the graphics
never starts and I have to restart the machine.
But even without vga=normal, I get the same behavior.
Sorry, I can't help you figure out what's wrong there. I completely
avoid any computers containing NVidia graphics... If you don't have any
need for the NVidia part, you might be able to disable it in the BIOS.
I don't know why the Intel part isn't working for modesetting.

Do you mean:
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
?
That would be included. You want one of the akmod-nvidia* packages.
Since it's a recent chipset, it would most likely be the "akmod-nvida"
package. (Don't forget to install "kernel-devel" as well.) The problem
is that you will need to clean any mess left behind by the NVidia
installer you tried to run before you install the package.
