I just read over that, but I didn't get much out of it other than "the
intel stuff worked" (there wasn't really any explanation on that) and
that bumblee is the proclaimed solution, unless I'm missing something.
I don't know what you mean by the latest and greatest driver. Are you
referring to Intel or Nvidia? I don't even have an xorg.conf file on my
system.

(silly question, but i'll still try) - are you sure you have the
latest and greatest driver?
get rid of xorg.conf and see if you get anything.

Kevin,
I'm sure you went over this. Already, but maybe you can tell us
what last (relevant ) lines are in messages are and what X.log has?

You are correct that when you install the kmod-nvidia package, it
automatically disables nouveau and blacklists it for you, but I didn't
know there was a new nvidia xorg.conf file created. After I installed
the kmod-nvidia package again, I restarted and modified the kernel
arguements to include the intel.disable=1 arguement, but the result was
the same....eventually the screen flickered a few times and it stopped
booting, although I could still open a terminal via alt+F2. I'm not
sure what to try next. Someone requested some command output from me in
a different email, which I provided, but I'm lost now. I didn't think
it would be this difficult.
