Thank you. 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.

Summary     : NVIDIA's proprietary display driver for NVIDIA graphic cards
Description :
This package provides the most recent NVIDIA display driver which allows for
hardware accelerated rendering with NVIDIA chipsets NV30 (FX series) and newer.
NV30 and below (such as GeForce2) are NOT supported by this release.

For the full product support list, please consult the release notes
for driver version %{_version}.

From the above you can see what chipsets are supported without
installed the rpm.
