I've been running Myth under SL6 for some time and recently moved to 
master, using a specfile based on Richard Shaw's from rpmfusion.

The scrpms repo appears to provide nvidia drivers with kmdls for current 
el6 kernels, but tuner support via atrpms uses code from 2011 for 
kernels from 2013.

My box doesn't have nvidia hardware and I get tuner support via the 
kernel-lt builds from elrepo.
