Let me post once again the link I provided for you earlier in this
thread. I'm afraid you missed it.

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia-304xx

That page has a list of supported GPUs. This is all about the hardware
you have and the version of Nvidia's driver that supports it. Which
kernel version is _not_ relevant.

You may also want to check out this post on the ELRepo's mailing list:

http://lists.elrepo.org/pipermail/elrepo/2013-January/001587.html

I quoted an essential part of it in my earlier post as well. I
strongly suggest you subscribe to the ELRepo general mailing list. If
you still have questions about the Nvidia-related packages offered by
ELRepo, please ask on the ELRepo's list.
