Sounds like something broke during the upgrade.
Well, it didn't upgrade, I had to uninstall and reinstall the
kmod-nvidia and dependent packages. I have removed and resintalled
them several times. Even going to the src.rpms, compiling, and
installing those. So I don't think it is something left over from the
old packages. It seems to be an issue with this package. It could be
an issue at nVidia's end, though I didn't notice anything similar on
the nVidia Linux forum. Whatever the problem, it would at least be
nice to get back the old driver till this is sorted out, since I know
that works...

So you installed the proper versions of both kmod-nvidia and
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia ? These are the two RPMs that compose the nvidia driver.
