Just throwing in my 2 cents worth here, but I really like the new NVidia
driver package. Took all of 1 minute to install and configure. Who says
you can write installation systems that work? 

Just had to make a copy of my XF86Config-4 file, ran the shell script to
install the NVidia package, and edited a few minor things in the
existing XF86Config-4 file. 

They put together one sweet install if you ask me! Had to modify X so it
wouldn't launch on start-up, backed up the X config file, ran the file
they provided, and edited may as many as three lines in XF86Config-4.
After that, "startx" did the trick.

Don't know whether or not the Texstar RPM's work as nicely as this, but
if not, this new install system is good to go!

Thing is, this driver package is supposed to be able to compile itself
for many kernels, and distributions. That's impressive! Nice to see what
a company can do when they put their heads together. 

I just became an NVidia fan!
