livna nvidia rpm's - how uninstall?

Here's my situation - I have kernel 2.6.8-1.521, I
installed the Livna Nvidia rpms:

  [root at localhost root]# rpm -qa | grep nvidia
  kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.8-1.521-1.0.6106-0.lvn.4.2
  nvidia-glx-1.0.6106-0.lvn.4.2

But I'm having problems - Chromium doesn't work, and
neither does Tux Racer.  So I thought I would download
the driver right from Nvidia.  But first I need to
uninstall the Livna Nvidia rpms.

Here's what happens:

  [root at localhost root]# rpm -e kernel-module-nvidia
error: package kernel-module-nvidia is not installed
[root at localhost root]# rpm -e nvidia-glx
error: Failed dependencies:
        nvidia-glx = 0:1.0.6106 is needed by
(installed)
kernel-module-nvidia-2.6.8-1.521-1.0.6106-0.lvn.4.2


So I did
  rm /var/lib/rpm/__db.*
  rpm --rebuilddb

and that didn't even do the trick - same errors trying
to erase the nvidia rpms.

Anyone know how to correct this?

TIA.
