I upgraded to F10 and now I need to get my nvidia card working. I ran

Ok, that's odd. So I then naively tried
[root@saturn ~]# rpm -e kmod-nvidia
error: Failed dependencies:
kmod-nvidia >= 173.14.12-5.lvn9.1 is needed by (installed)
kmod-nvidia-2.6.26.6-79.fc9.i686-173.14.12-5.lvn9.1.i686

[root@saturn ~]#
Since this is an upgrade, shouldn't the package be installed on top of
the old one?
Anyone know what to do next?
TIA
kmod-nvidia is a metapackage, to deal with the screwy dependency issues that
result from having to ship an extra variant of the nvidia module every time
Nvidia decides to stop supporting another generation of less-than-bleeding-edge
hardware. What you're seeing is normal, and your module is already installed.
Have fun with X configuration.
In other words, blame Nvidia.
