Comment 1 SP 2012-02-17 23:19:45 UTC
KDE Daemon crashes
Steps to resolve
1.  Blacklist nouveau driver

/etc/moprobe/blacklist-nouveau.conf:
blacklist-nouveau.conf

2. Add to grub.cfg
nouveau.modeset=0 rd.driver.blacklist=nouveau

3.
# yum remove kmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
# yum install akmod-nvidia xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs
4. go to init 1
# mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
# dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

Updates break this occasionally and necessitate going through part of this process again.
