I'm confused. If I remember correctly, previous times a kernel was
updated, there was an akmod-nvidia that was updated too. Are you
saying I should just take the kernel update and the akmod-nvidia that
I have will work for the kernel update?

kernel-PAE.i686                        2.6.34.9-69.fc13                  updates
kernel-PAE-devel.i686                  2.6.34.9-69.fc13                  updates
kernel-headers.i686                    2.6.34.9-69.fc13                  updates
perf.noarch                            2.6.34.9-69.fc13                  updates

This is the akmod-nvidia I have installed:
akmod-nvidia-260.19.36-1.fc13.i686

Thank you
