Hi,
What's the best (cleanest, easiest, whatever) way to install the proprietary NVidia driver on CentOS 5.5 ? Usually I'm using the RPMForge 3rd party repo and compile the odd missing package myself from a Fedora SRPM. But the nvidia packages look a bit like a mess. DKMS has errors in the startup script (looking for a nonexistent log_action_msg and the likes), so I wonder if it's best to just download the driver from nvidia.com and build it myself.
Then I thought : I'd rather ask.
Cheers,
Niki
