This seems to be experienced with various place. But doesn't seems a
problem with the nvidia driver itself.
(the driver works). For some reason the package that provides the
kernel module hasn't been updated along with the driver, or stayed
installed along...

Are you using akmod-nvidia ?

If you do:
yum remove xorg-x11-drv-nvidia (better to rm  /etc/X11/xorg.conf then).
Do you have a nvidia.ko or nvidia package that remains installed.
lsmod |grep nouveau
rpm -qa |grep nvidia
