Comment 3 James Kerr 2011-03-04 09:04:07 CET 
You are running kernel-desktop-2.6.37.2, but you do not have the matching kernel-desktop-devel package for that kernel. 

Install kernel-desktop-devel-latest. This will ensure that the matching kernel-desktop-devel package is always installed whenever a new kernel is installed.
Comment 4 Ahmad Samir 2011-03-04 20:46:04 CET 
Yeah. Install kernel-desktop-devel-latest, reboot then try again (DKMS will build the kernel modules at boot).

Closing, reopen if it still doesn't work.
