Nah - I use to check rpm.livna.org and grab their src.rpm to mutilate 
for CentOS whenever a new driver was released, but it's been awhile - 
last year or so I have just been modifying the kernel version in the 
spec file.

I suppose I should move to the new way that relinks it automagically 
when new kernel is released, I don't know - I'm fine with the kernel 
version specific kmod- way.

I don't do a lot in the way of games, google earth is about as hard as I 
push the driver. I do wish there was a quality open source 3D driver in 
the kernel, like I had for my VooDoo3 way way back when.
