I did the usual below and then I tried to yum remove and yum install the nvidia drivers but they don't exist. I think I still need the 9631 drivers since my card is integrated on the mobo. Here is a ton of info. Last time I fixed this by creating a symlink to the driver using a different extension but that didn't work this time...

I took a quick peek at what was available at freshrpms and the current
build for F7 and F8 is 9639, however, I assume you have a specific
reason to believe support for your device was ended after 9631. If you
really have to have 9631 it is still available in the FC6 repo. It will
probably still work even if you're running F7 or 8.
Thanks,
Richard
