My understanding is that none of the distribution or other RPM

ELrepo does indeed package the nvidia binary 'taints the kernel' driver;
see http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia
This packaging properly deals with noveau as well. I am using
ELrepo-packaged nvidia drivers on three EL6 boxes right now.
Thank you for the correction.
Am I correct to assume that this driver -- presumably derived from the
proprietary Nvidia driver that must be uninstalled per the
documentation in the URL that you provided -- has fully stereoscopic
3D support, including whatever openGL modifications are required, as
does the Nvidia "factory" package?
If so, and thus stereoscopic 3D activation in the xorg.conf file is
required, does this ELrepo package provide the necessary xorg.conf
file? If not, and if the ELrepo derivative requires the same syntax
in the same xorg.conf stanzas as the Nvidia "factory" driver, could
you kindly transmit my xorg.conf file fix to the Elrepo group, or
provide me with the correct contact information?
