Additional information that may be helpful:
I just installed this nvidia video card. I tried the following command 
after the installation but it failed for reasons I don't recall now:

# yum install nvidia-glx kernel-module-nvidia-`(uname -r)`

After that failed, I dl'd the driver from nvidia's site and followed the 
alternate instructions found at this url:

http://www.fedorafaq.org/custom_nvidia.html

That went fine (with the exception of the rivafb error that others had, 
and I ignored the error).

So I suspect this dependency issue is related to my failed attempt at 
installing the nvidia driver with yum. When I try to find nvidia-glx I 
get this output:

# locate nvidia-glx
/var/cache/yum/livna-stable/headers/nvidia-glx-0-1.0.6106-0.lvn.4.2.i386.hdr
/var/cache/yum/livna-stable/headers/nvidia-glx-devel-0-1.0.6111-0.lvn.2.2.i686.hdr
/var/cache/yum/livna-stable/headers/nvidia-glx-0-1.0.6111-0.lvn.2.2.i686.hdr
/var/cache/yum/livna-stable/headers/nvidia-glx-devel-0-1.0.6106-0.lvn.4.2.i386.hdr

and when I try to find kernel-module-nvidia I get no output, indicating 
it's just not there.

Anything else I could run or report to help troubleshoot?
