When I got this pc I actually wanted a different nvidia card. The sales guy convinced me to get the msi since my motherboard is msi.
I followed the guide for the For GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 200 & 300 series cards
su
rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-nvidia-PAE
su -
sed -i '/root=/s|$| rdblacklist=nouveau|' /boot/grub/grub.conf
mv /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)-nouveau.img
dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)
Now my PC boots with the old fedora 12 graphics and stops pretty much at the end.
How can I go back to where I was before?
thanks

Solved
I logged in with an older kernel and went to System, Administration, Livna display configuration
Just applied the default and after restart everything looks okay except the kernel warning I go just now.
