[SOLVED] can't enable desktop effects

Hi.
I have a Nvidia GeForce 8600GT but i can't enable desktop effects. I think I got the wrong nvidia driver
Code:
yum install kmod-nvidia
init 3
/usr/sbin/nvidia-config-display enable
init 5
and got this
Code:
Checking for module nvidia.ko [Failed]
nvidia.ko for kernel-2.6.25.6-27 was not found
The nvidia driver will not be enabled until one is found
Here is my xorg.conf file output
Code:
# Xorg configuration created by livna-config-display

Section "ServerLayout"
	Identifier     "single head configuration"
	Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
	InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection

Section "Files"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libextmod"
	ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

Section "ServerFlags"
	Option	    "AIGLX" "on"
EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier  "Keyboard0"
	Driver      "kbd"
	Option	    "XkbModel" "jp106"
	Option	    "XkbLayout" "jp"
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nv"
	Option	    "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Videocard0"
	DefaultDepth     24
	SubSection "Display"
		Viewport   0 0
		Depth     24
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
	Option	    "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
Any help would be greatly appreciated
