The dkms driver is deprecated in favour of the elrepo kmod-nvidia driver.

If you have problems with the kmod-nvidia driver, please do subscribe 
and post to the elrepo mailing list and someone will be more than happy 
to assist you. Most problems are likely caused by not properly 
uninstalling any previous incarnations of the nvidia driver, be it dkms 
or the NVIDIA installer.

Thanks.
