Best thing to do is to make sure that kernel-devel is installed and then
download your driver from here:

http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8756/NVIDIA-Linux-
x86-1.0-8756-pkg1.run

You should read the directions on the page before you install:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-8756.html

I followed the TNT2 links and those urls are what I got.  The installer
now features an editor which will automatically edit your xorg.conf file
if you want.

If these new drivers still dont' work for you, then you will be stuck
searching the internet for a 7174 version of the Nvidia packaged
drivers.

Good luck
