Yes, probably.

The script installer forces you to enter runlevel 3. It can unload the
module from there. The rpm often will be installed while X is running --
it can remove the old module at that point.

Thinking about it: We could provie a script for /etc/profile.d that
could unload the module during the next X (re)start. That would be a
real hack, but probably the only solution for this problem.
