There was a dependency bug in one of the livna package that should be fixed, to 
bring in xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.  It should update to 169.09-2 and fix that 
unless you have a different issue.

You can also try using the 'nouveau' driver instead of 'nv', though you'll still 
only get indirect software 3d (if at all).
