Thanks, it successfully removed the kmod-nvidia. There is no difference in nvidia driver installed and not installled. Only display is shifted a bit. X is working nice.

Thanks again!

run (sudo yum remove kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia)

then, edit and set /etc/inittab so that you boot to runlevel 3
temporarily, and then reboot.

it *should* set /etc/X11/xorg.conf back to original settings (it
preserves the original); you can double check this by looking in the
driver section. You should see the driver section show as "nv" instead
of "nvidia".

[Worst case scenario, you can trash the xorg.conf and re-run
system-config-display, but save that for extreme desperate measures.]

you can then run (startx) from your user account to test things. if all
works well, re-edit /etc/inittab back to booting at runlevel 5.
