I did it like this for an nvidia fx5200 with duel display,

su - to root

yum install nvidia-glx kernel-module-nvidia-`(uname -r)`

reboot to reload the kernal and hay-pres-toe it works perfect I had to
tinker with xorg.conf to get the second vga port working to strech it
across 2 screens if its of any use here is what i added marked with >>
