RHEL corresponds pretty well with CentOS, ie RHEL 5.3 is CentOS 5.3 basically. Who cares about Fedora anymore when there's CentOS? ;-) >> Or if all else fails, why not get the proprietary Nvidia drivers? > >Well, all else did not fail.

The script with the proprietary Nvidia driver package is rock-solid AFAICT, never had any problem with it. We used that on this department until I heard about dkms and the dkms-Nvidia-package. No more need, ever, to rerun the driver install, as is usually the case with the proprietary driver and a kernel update. Dkms does all that for you. -- /Sorin
