Thanks, I already set up to build as a non root user, but rpmbuild for
Fedora 10 does not have --test, so you can't find out what it will do
before it is done.

Also, is there another way to handle the dependency on the nvidia
libs? I don't use rpms to install the drivers. I use the nvidia installer.
After installing the rpms for nvidia graphics, libs and devel I reinstall
the driver using their installer, basically because it fixes up stuff that
other things break, and I build a few custom kernel modules. Installing
the nvidia driver last cleans everything up. It's not a big deal, but
it might be nice to just depend on the vdpau lib needed, no matter
how it got installed.
