FYI

The nvidia-x11-drv RPM from EPEL no longer supports certain graphics cards
in version 346 and beyond.
One must switch to nvidia-x11-drv-340xx and kmod-nvidia-340xx else when 
the machine reboots after a yum update the screen will go black and 
possibly not respond to ctl-alt-F1 either. There's a note in 
/var/log/messages.
