I use the i386 ones and experienced this when I did my install. The
updated livna rpms corrected this. There were also problems with
selinux with the old rpms. You need a
/etc/udev/makedev.d/60-nvidia.nodes with the following, one per line:

nvidia0
nvidia1
nvidia2
nvidia3
nvidiactl

I guess if you upgrade to the nvidia *1.0.9762* rpms, this might solve
your problems.
