It's already there, in the testing repository.

yum --enablerepo=elrepo\* install kmod-nvidia-96xx

If you can confirm they behave as expected then I'll promote them to the 
main repository, just I don't think anyone's confirmed they are OK yet.

BTW, these packages expect to find NO /etc/x11/xorg.conf file. If for 
any reason you have an /etc/x11/xorg.conf file please back it up and 
remove it before installing kmod-nvidia, e.g,

mv /etc/x11/xorg.conf /etc/x11/xorg.conf.backup
yum --enablerepo=elrepo\* install kmod-nvidia-96xx

and reboot after installation.

Thanks.
