I actually had tried this in the way past with no luck.  However,  
it's an excellent suggestion to try on this new kernel:
# echo $KVER
2.6.22.5-49.fc6
# yum -y install nvidia-graphics9746-kmdl-$KVER
Yum reports that no updates are needed.  So I try Jarod's variation  
on the command:
# yum -y install nvidia-graphics9746-kmdl-$KVER nvidia-graphics9746
The kernel 2.6.22.1 gets downloaded, tries to install, but fails.  (I  
have no idea where this came from...)

I have never tried to update other modules such as alsa, ivtv, or  
lirc.  Should I?

Any more suggestions?
