Sounds like a bug from your description.

That is one here is one of these missing pieces of information.

That would be 'xorg-x11-drv-nv' package and it will be in an rpm
file which name starts with that string.  But - all these drivers
install, in a sense, as a whole pulled in by dependencies from a
"meta-package" 'xorg-x11-drivers' so possibly you may need to revert
that complete lot in order to avoid broken dependencies.  Maybe not?

There is 'yum-utils' package in extras and it has 'package-cleanup'
utility.  If you will run 'package-cleanup --problems' then you
should get a report if anything is really broken or not.  It may
turn out that you need to revert more.

To get an old package installed use 'rpm' and an option, named
surprisingly, '--oldpackage'.
