I am new to installing drivers etc. Could you possible give me a few
pointers to help me along the way.
RPMForge makes installing the nvidia drivers reasonably easy. Simply
run 'yum install nvidia-x11-drv' and then reboot.
Instructions for RPMForge are at http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/RPMForge
Be aware that if your graphic card is not recent enough, the installed
driver will tell you that you need a particular prior version from
nvidia's site. After using the Rpmforge version, I had to uninstall it,
leaving the kernel devel stuff in place, and get the .96xx version from
nvidia's site. It was still essentially a no-hassle operation though.
You should have NP either way.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the info - our problem however is that this is the "Latest
and Greatest" chip set from nVidia and the drivers do not seem to cater
for it adequately.
