3) nvidia and elrepo make a mess of the information on which cards are
supported by which drivers.
To elaborate:
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia
The grand total of information on supported video cards is this:
Supported Chipsets
This driver is the current release and supports the most recent NVIDIA graphics
cards (GeForce 8 series GPUs onwards, as well as Quadro series). Users of cards
based on older chipsets should use one of the following legacy drivers.
This is not helpful information. GeForce210 cards I bought in December are
"recent" or not? Are
they "8 series and onward" or not? They are not listed in the legacy lists, is
it an omission
or have I dodged a bullet today or not?
Nvidia has a helpful compatibility page (google result #2 for nvidia
linux drivers):

Please don't hold the ELRepo folks accountable for changes NVidia makes.
They are graciously donating their time to make these packages.
