If you are using the ELRepo drivers, simply updating to their latest packages should resolve the issue.

If you've manually deployed the drivers, you'll have more work ahead.

If you have applied all the most recent security errata, then you already have the newest X and kernel.  If things work with those already, you should be fine.

Thank you team.
Quick question in regards of the upgrade note - any specific to prop. Nvidia drv and x11  problems I should be aware and possible fixes/workarounds?

Major Differences from SL6.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
OpenAFS
    OpenAFS has been updated to version 1.6.10 from openafs.org

xorg-x11-server
    Features a new ABI, this was a security errata so it should be
    available to earlier releases.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSSIBLE UPGRADE PROBLEMS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Users of proprietary drivers may experience issues with the X server
loading due to changes between Xorg 1.13 and Xorg 1.15.

Users of the 32bit iscsi utilities on x86_64 systems may experience
multilib complaints.  The 32bit iscsi utilities are not provided by
upstream on x86_64 platforms.  We have removed them from 6.6 to follow
their behavior.
