Les, have you installed the latest kmod-nvidia when yumupdate sneaked a
new kernel on ya? 

yum -y --enablerepo livna install kmod-nvidia
... then to make sure SELinux plays nice, in a root terminal type:
setsebool -P allow_execstack=1    <hit enter>
setsebool -P allow_execmod=1      <hit enter> 

Stanton Finley has a step by step on his site for FC5 which works as
well for FC6.

He's got a pile of useful stuff there. Check it out! :) Ric
