What I've done is created the reference to the livna repository in
/etc/yum.repos.d/livna.repo using the 'normal' methods, changed the line
enabled=1 to enabled=0  which disables the livna repo by default

Then done (as root):
yum -y --enablerepo livna install kmod-nvidia
to install the driver

This way the livna repo is only used to install the nvidia driver, and when
I do a general yum install or yum update it doesn't look to the livna repo
and create conflicts with atrpms or freshrpms.

The livna repo is the only way I've managed to consistently get the nvidia
driver to work under Fedora when upgrading kernel, etc.
