just to clear things up: the nvidia drivers available in rpmforge *are* 
the proprietary nvidia drivers. They're just conveniently packaged in an 
rpm, and use dkms for auto-rebuilding. And they don't upgrade to the 
latest version every time nvidia releases one, which can be good or bad 
depending on your needs.
This is true both for nvidia-x11-drv and dkms-nvidia-x11-drv: the latter 
is simply a newer version with a name change, and it's the one you 
should use (but anyways if you installed the older package yum upgrade 
should offer to upgrade to dkms-*).
