This should not happen -- the livna package should disable the nvidia

This :-( :-( "feature" made me dump the livna way a long time ago.
Not only do you have to get the kernel module installed, you
also have to set up X again to use the nvidia driver.
Now if only some cleaver rpm dependencies could be set
up so that the kernel isn't updated until a new livna
nvidia rpm is available - that would be useful!

Actually, the new nvidia and ati rpms out of livna, will fall back to
the standard drivers if the proprietary kernel modules couldn't be
loaded. This allows one to upgrade the kernel without losing X even if
the proprietary modules aren't built yet. There are also command line
utilities to turn off the proprietary drivers on next boot, which is
usefull if you have a laptop since neither ati nor nvidia proprietary
drivers support suspend while the open source drivers both do.
