Someone called my name ... :)
Mark, first make sure you need the -304xx driver by running nvidia-detect:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/nvidia-detect
Once confirmed, you need to install the latest version of
kmod-nvidia-304xx from the elrepo-testing repository on your 6.6 OS.
Please see:
http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=517
They will eventually be moved to the elrepo main repository.
