Sir Robin,
Making them from the source seems to work more reliably than rpms, even
though I understand that the "source" is really just a packaged binary.
I am using the NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2960.tar.gz very happily with 9.0
having tried NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.tar.gz and found it not to work.
If you have the same experience and have trouble finding the 2960
version, e-mail me off-list and I'll send it on over.
