  Thanks! Kernel option rdblacklist=nouveau was the key. Now X is
running again. With a new nVidia splash screen.

  Only: it dropped to a rediculously small resolution. After the usual
long struggle with the display tool [1], I got a higher resolution,
but still considerably less than I had before.

     Take care
     Oliver

  [1] "Hah! I'm the evil Fedora display tool! Your card is still
unknown even though you just selected nvidia and clicked 'OK'! Just
because you selected the monitor resolution to be 1680x1050 does not
mean you can actually select that resolution as a mode! You always
have to log out for any effect and whenever you close me I will always
forget everything you entered! And just to annoy you I will fall back
to 640x480 once in a while for no apparent reason! I have not changed
since Fedora 6 and probably never will!"
