You say that you deleted xorg.conf, and could then boot into runlevel 5
using the default drivers. If you do an lsmod, does it show nouveau?

Second question: does the version of kmod-nvidia support your graphics card?

Oh, and did you yum install it, so that you got nvidia-x11-drv?

        mark, who just noticed that he's got that, *and*
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit,
                 on his x86_64 system for some reason....
