OK,
Thank
Now
yum install kmod-nvidia
gives:
Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
1:kmod-nvidia-319.32-2.fc19.i686 from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
1:kmod-nvidia-3.10.3-300.fc19.i686-319.32-2.fc19.i686 from
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
1:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-319.32-7.fc19.i686 from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
1:xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-319.32-7.fc19.i686 from rpmfusion-nonfree-updates
It seems that there are some confusion with kmod-nvidia

I suspect that the answer may be 'none of the above' for your machine.
They are probably for more recent hardware.
