Thanks, Nicolas and Lamar, for your helpful posts. Indeed, subscribing
to the ELRepo mailing list is strongly recommended for anyone using
ELRepo packages.
There is also a web page for the ELRepo Nvidia packages:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia
A page specific for the 304xx driver is here:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia-304xx
