Nvidia driver on Fedora 2174

My Nvidia RPM was working fine until I updated my kernel to build 2174 (I was on 2157). I installed nvidia-kmod RPM for 2174 and it just does nothing. Absolutely nothing at all. It installs a 'control panel' of some sort, which does nothing. Is there anything I can do? Is it an issue with this driver?

I am using Fedora x86_64 build 2174, graphics card is an Nvidia Geforce 7950GX2, and the driver RPM is kmod-nvidia - 1.0.8774-1.2.6.17_1.2174_FC5.x86_64

You might try this method for installing the Nvidia drivers instead:
