generally speaking, other people SRPM's are often an origin for problems.
especially because these SRPM's are designed for Redhat!
please use the targz, they would always detect the configuration of the
system better than the SRPM, because they're designed
platform-independant.

i installed the other part from the RPM, yes.

and, needless to say, I agree with Yoann's position on problems with
Nvidia drivers and their relation to the fact that they're not
open-sourced.
open-source rules.
