Axel,
heads up for you
new version : 1.0-9755 for Linux x86/x86-64 released
and quote:
This post is an early notification to anyone who repackages the NVIDIA UNIX 
Graphics Driver.

Starting in the Release 100 driver series, NVIDIA will revise the format of the 
version 
number for the UNIX Graphics Driver.

In the past, the NVIDIA UNIX Graphics Driver version format was "1.0-XXXX" 
(e.g., 
"1.0-9746"). Starting in Release 100, the new format will be a collection of 
period-separated fields (e.g., "100.17.03").

The left-most field will indicate the major release series ("Release 100", 
Release "105", 
etc.). The second field and optional third or additional fields will be used 
for NVIDIA 
tracking.

The version number will be a variable number of fields, however it will consist 
only of 
digits and periods.

This version format change will apply to both the package filenames, and the 
names of the 
libraries.

Examples:

     /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.100.17

     NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.17-pkg1.run
     NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.17-pkg2.run
     NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-100.17.run
     NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-100.17.tar.gz

     # glxinfo | grep "OpenGL version string"
     OpenGL version string: 2.1.1 NVIDIA 100.17

     # cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
     NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86 Kernel Module 100.17 Mon Feb 12 14:37:08 PST 
2007
     GCC version: gcc version 4.1.1 20060525 (Red Hat 4.1.1-1)

After the Release 100 driver series is released, we will make a similar change 
to the 
1.0-96xx and 1.0-71xx legacy GPU release branches.

Thank you,
