I am still working on it. BTW the Nvidia driver (coming from the
Nvidia
web site) for SuSE is *a lot* easier to install :-)


My experience with the rpm.livna.org nvidia packaging was quite simple.

yum install kernel-module-nvidia-`uname -r`-1.0.6629

and it just worked (had to restart X11 obviously)

I stopped using it though because it caused grep to segfault on a recursive grep of /etc - something I do from time to time.
