[mythtv-users] upgraded to nvidia 8576, want to downgrade to 7676 but can't

I tried upgrading my nvidia driver thinking it would help some
playback quality issues, but it has made things messy (multiple lines
of text won't properly display in menus, 3:4 catpures get streched to
16:9 without changing the aspect ratio, a blue horizontal bar appears
on the playback, and inability to play live tv), so I want to switch
back.

The upgrade also upgraded my kernel, and I thought I could just switch
kernels to the old one and reboot, but something seems to have
happened that won't even load x up then; I assume a mismatched kernel
driver and kernel.

In the new kernel, I try to downgrade by doing:
yum install nvidia-graphics7676

but get this error:
---> Package nvidia-graphics7676-libs.i386 1:1.0_7676-68.1.rhfc4.at

I am running 2.6.16-1.2069_FC4


Thanks for any help.
