I have logged in as root (I do not have compiz enabled under that user), removed the offending package and installed the update. Then I rebooted. It all seemed to work fine, glxinfo shows the new driver in place. I just founded it odd that yum would have problem updating that package. >From what I can see on my system, previous updates to that RPM were left in place: kmod-nvidia.i686 100.14.19-1.2.6.23.1_1 installed kmod-nvidia.i686 169.07-1.2.6.23.8_34.f installed kmod-nvidia.i686 100.14.19-1.2.6.22.9_9 installed kmod-nvidia.i686 100.14.19-1.2.6.23.1_2 installed See all old kernel versions still hanging about. Anyway, I think it maybe related that the yum's kmod bug, they working on right now.

Try switching to runlevel 3, removing the old ones and re-installing the new ones. This sounds like it could be a packaging bug where the new one doesn't obsolete the old.
