Where does the livna repository fit in with FC9?

Looks like you've still got the nvidia driver loading, which you don't want. 
Either get it uninstalled and all the kmod stuff removed from livna, or 
blacklist it temporarily in modprobe.conf.  Just make sure if you're trying to 
use nv or nouveau you don't have the nvidia module in kernel at the time.  I'm 
assuming you just ran lspci while nvidia was loaded, but its pointless to have 
that kernel module load at all right now.
