From here you can manually remove and reinstall the proprietary drivers, either with yum or with PackageKit's ''Add/Remove Software'' application, as desired.

			In the case when you try to modify grub[background_image/resolution/..], your are greeted with a blank screen or corrupted video signal while starting X. To overcome this, all you need to do is, append the following lines to /etc/default/grub:

			<pre>
			GRUB_GFXMODE=1280x1024x32
			GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD=keep
			GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1280x1024x32
			</pre>

			and then run:

			<pre>
			grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
			</pre>
