I used the .src.rpm versions. Not sure what you mean by --rebuild them. I just initially install the .src.rpm (rpm -i ***_***_****.src.rpm), then change directory to /usr/src/redhat/SPECS where the src files are installed, then rpmbuild -bb NVIDIA*. Then all I do is change to the directory /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 where the rpmbuild process has put the packages, and do rpm -Uvh NVIDIA*. The wildcards work in both the above commands. Then I just modify the XF86Config file to have driver = "nvidia" and make sure the entry Load "glx" is in the module section, and there is no line in modules section containing Load "dri" or "Glcore". After that all works.
