Since I was not aware that Nvidia has split their drivers, I was still under the impression that the Nvidia driver supported all Nvidia cards. So course it didn't occur to me to read the README to check on this. But with RPMs, you don't get the README until after you've installed the RPM, a nasty chicken and egg problem.
