Don't use the .run file.
Head on over to http://rpm.livna.org/ and configure yum to use their  
repository, and then yum install their packaging of the NVidia driver.

Just an FYI - I had to remove it because it was bad for the system.
Tux Racer sure was nice, but a recursive grep on a large directory  
would segfault, and believe it or not - it was NVidia's fault (I'm not  
sure how, I'm not knowledgeable on kernel stuff, but that's what was  
concluded from a look at my dmesg output, and without their driver  
installed - grep doesn't segfault)

Also oddly enough - balsa sped up after removing the driver.
