I see both kmod-nvidia and akmod-nvidia. Possibly the akmod version
is the one that uses dkms (or something like it) to build the proper
kernel driver at boot time if necessary, but I'm not entirely
certain about that.

I usually just wait a day after a new kernel comes out and the new
livna module has usually shown up by then.
