yum install nvidia-graphics9631-kmdl-`uname -r` or if you want to use  
the newer nvidia driver,
yum install nvidia-graphics9746-kmdl-`uname -r`

That will get the kernel modules installed for the current kernel  
that you're running.
You'll also need to make sure to do
yum install nvidia-graphics9631 or
yum install nvidia-graphics9746 depending on which one you decide to  
go with.
