I printed out Maximum RPM in 1997 and I refer to it often. I was told
today to use:
# rpm -q --whatprovides (complete direction to a file) and it did
provide the name of the file that provides /etc/rc.d/init.d/nvideo.
Then just now I got to page 51 and there it listed this capability. I
have had this capability for 8 years but didn't know it...

yum can do the same thing, and has the advantage it will also tell you
about rpms you don't have installed, but are available in one of your
configured repos
