Please provide the full yum output. I cannot see what is wrong from the
snippet that you gave.

Also, keep in mind that there is a "kmod-nvidia" driver for the "recent"
nvidia graphics cards, then there is another "kmod-nvidia-304xx" driver
for the "older" cards, and finally there is a "kmod-nvidia-173xx" driver
for "ancient" cards.

It would be a good idea to figure out which hardware you actually have,

 lspci | grep VGA

and then install the appropriate driver. You have the details spelled
out here:

  http://rpmfusion.org/Howto/nVidia

(although I'd say that this howto is a tad bit outdated, but it's
still mostly correct).

HTH, :-)
