I had the same problem. For me, it had installed 3 minor revs of the 
drivers. In yum do a   list installed nvidia* if you have multieple drivers 
like for each kernel, remove the ones with the other minors. IE, I had

nvidia-graphics169.07-kmdl-2.6.24.3-12.fc8
nvidia-graphics169.09-kmdl-2.6.24.3-12.fc8
nvidia-graphics169.12-kmdl-2.6.24.3-12.fc8

and did
remove nvidia-graphics169.07* nvidia-graphics169.09*

any anything else with the wrong minor number
