If your not sure how to move the file type : mv yum.conf /etc/yum.conf .. It will then ask you to overwrite old file just say yes.... NOW open a terminal and become root and type: yum install nvidia .... This will install the nvidia kernel module and and glx for you and setup your X86Config all you'll have to do is restart X wil a quick ctrl + atl +backspace
