Worst come to worst, I could put in some sys admin cycles to create the
rpms. Basically take the .srpms and rebuild them under el. But I don't
want to get going on such a project without knowing that someone else is
doing it, and what of any specifics I need to know about building
packages being distributed through the rpmfusion network...

You can download drivers (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.29-pkg1.run) from nVidia
site and install it.
nVidia perfectly support RHEL 5.
Hmm, no. This is not what was asked, and if you use the nvidia provided
installer, you're going to overwrite some system supplied file.
Actually, cleanly installing and easily upgrading the proprietary video
drivers is the whole point of the RPM Fusion nvidia and fglrx packages.

I just installed rhel5 and wanted to get the nvidia driver for it (akmod
version or any version actually) Doing some poking around it don't find
it. Is it not available and I'm just not doing the right thing to
install it?
I'm also interested in getting at least a status on this. What is
holding back the availability of kmod/akmod for EL ? No decision on
kmod/akmod itself yet or lack of interested maintainer ?
There is a not so remote possibility I may need this as well as fglrx at
work, so me or possibly a colleague may land a hand someday.
