Which versions of RH or FC correspond reasonably well to my version of centos? uname -a Linux 2.6.18-128.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Thu May 7 10:35:59 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I use CentOS 5.3 i386/x86_64 flavours
A typo erased part of the question (and more googling erased some of the need for it). I was originally asking what howtos to look at, since I couldn't find centos howtos. then I found wiki.centos.org.
Is it really of no interest to anyone else which rev of RH corresponds to which rev of fedora and centos?
If I were you I'd look more into dkms and the dkms-nvidia-packages. Those are more current, than the driver package in nvidia-x11*.
Useful suggestion. The wiki page I was looking at made no helpful distinction between them, so I picked the one that sounded simpler.
Or if all else fails, why not get the proprietary Nvidia drivers?
Well, all else did not fail. And they want me to run a script that does I don't know what, outside the record-keeping that goes with yum/rpm. Also, nvidia's web page made it sound like I was in for an editing session on xorg.conf, which is beyond me. Maybe I misunderstood.
