Well with the sl-security update the .run and the kmod-nvidia-96XX died with xorg1.13
the "NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run" is built for xorg 1.10 and 1.12 so downgrading xorg is needed however xorg-1.13 added "xorg-x11-drv-modesetting" and this causes a unfixable error in downgrading so -- this can be done with Gnome running -- --- assuming you reinstalled nouveau to get the gui working again --
add " exclude=xorg* " to "/etc/yum.conf" to the file edit /boot/grub/grub.conf ( or the link /etc/grub.conf ) add to the boot line
i created a small shell script to rebuild the boot image ( i have been doing this a lot and a script solves the TYPOS i make ) -- save as "/boot.image.rebuild .sh ( or a short name " /RBI.sh ") save to " /"
reboot into int 3 run the "boot.image.rebuild .sh" script reboot into int 3 run the NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.23-pkg1.run and reboot and ( ONLY IF you need the mesa"gl.h" and not nvidia's "gl.h"
