Thank you. I take you mean I need the 96xx RPMs.

What I did was:

yum erase xorg-x11-drv-nvidia
yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-96xx

That seemed to work:

[root at phoenix ~]# lsmod | grep -i nvidia
nvidia               4719284  22 
i2c_core               24641  5 eeprom,lm85,i2c_ec,nvidia,i2c_i801

Now, how did you know that that was the right thing to do? I don't see
anything on the Livna wiki page
(http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/LivnaSwitcher) about this.
