I had the same problems with the nVidia driver after yesterday's
updates. So I tried re-installing the 6629 drivers and got the
same errors you listed above. Took me a while to figure out that
it was SELinux related, but was good reason to learn more about
SELinux (since I have it enabled).

The way I got around the problem was to temporarily turn off
SELinux by running

setenforce 0

then I could re-install the nVidia drivers. All works again now.
