What kind of graphics does your machine have?
Right now it's a GeForce 4. We are upgrading to a Quadro FX3000 though, because we run a high end rendering app on this workstation and we need more memory and better graphics support.
Ah, first of all, you should remove the "rhgb quiet" from the grub.conf files, so the graphics doesn't start at boot time. Set runlevel to 3 in /etc/inittab. You can then try to start the graphics manually with the startx command after you've logged in.
You should check out the patches mentioned in:

My EM64T 4G machine runs with the patches 1165235, 1171869, and 1175225.
I use the following script to install the NVIDIA driver after a kernel upgrade:
#!/bin/bash
rm -rf NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6629-pkg2 sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6629-pkg2.run --extract-only cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-1.0-6629-pkg2 patch -p0 <../NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-6629-1165235.diff.txt patch -p0 <../NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-6629-1171869.diff.txt patch -p0 <../NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-6629-1175225.diff.txt sleep 2 ./nvidia-installer
The "sleep 2" is just to see that the patches went in OK before starting the installer.
