Install the RPM Forge Repo. For CentOS 5 would be: http://packages.sw.be/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386. rpm rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm yum install dkms --enablerepo=*\rpmforge yum install nvidia-dkms --enablerepo=*\rpmforge Your xorg config file will get updated also, I have never heard of "nouveau".
