Are you using the stock CentOS kernel? I would try and compile a
vanilla 2.6.29.4 kernel using the CentOS .config (of course some
things won't match but you will get the important modules, etc). Then
rebuild the nvidia drivers once booted off the new kernel and see how
you go. I find I get best results (certainly with Lirc) when using the
latest, stable Kernel.org kernels. For the rest of the system
excluding nvidia and Lirc I use the distro packages.

HTH,

Fred.
