Once you have done this it is practically impossible to go back to the OSS
driver. Luckily both atrpms and livna supply kernel module RPMS for the the
nvidia drivers, that work around this problem.
Use rpm -Va to finc out what is out of sync, rpm -q --whatprovides to find
out which package owns those out of sync files and rpm --force -U to reinstall
them.
I have been playing with this after an FC5 to F7 upgrade to clean things up.
I had some extras and livna stuff installed and that probably didn't help
the upgrade process.
