I only solved this after modding my init-rd: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/fedora-12-nouveau-nvidia-driver-solution-771248/ Later I realized I could force uninstall all the rpms that had to do with nouveau even though urpme wouldn't let me do it. I think I still had to mod initrd even though the rpms with the stuff were gone, but I'm not 100% sure. I could not compile a real nVidia for old TNT2 cards and got no sympathy from the nvidia forums. I used nv but its opengl was slow and I found a cheap newer card somewhere. My experience was with 2.
