You're right! I was running an older version of the kernel. It looks
like the nvidia-kernel-module for my running kernel got removed at
some point... presumably everything will work fine until I try to
reboot (unless I reboot with the newer kernel that has the module).
I fixed the problem by manually installing the new kernel, then
yum updating.
Updating kernel modules using yum seems to work better with livna's new
kmod- naming approach, but it would be nice if yum could be configured
not to switch to newer kernels until all modules were updated as well.
