I have nvidia...

Installing the module (from the livna package) should work correctly
with or without selinux. The problem is when the startup script tries to
write to xorg.conf, and that's currently disallowed in selinux. If
the previous configuration was correct, there will be no problem.
However, if the previous configuration was not correct, the script
will fail to update xorg.conf, with possibly very un-user friendly 
consequences. We should really fix this problem - I'll look into it 
over the weekend.
