Hi,
just installed their NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.44-pkg2 driver. I had it running on my CentOS 5.2 x64 machine, and I'm happily surprised that it builds and runs okay on 5.3 also.
Cheers,
Timo

I'm still using 169.12 - it continues to work fine in 5.3. I probably should update it, but it don't seem broke to me ...

Do you use an email group to get notified of a new driver? I've been on 100.14.19 until I saw your email, boy, I missed a few updates :).

Nah - I use to check rpm.livna.org and grab their src.rpm to mutilate for CentOS whenever a new driver was released, but it's been awhile - last year or so I have just been modifying the kernel version in the spec file.
I suppose I should move to the new way that relinks it automagically when new kernel is released, I don't know - I'm fine with the kernel version specific kmod- way.
I don't do a lot in the way of games, google earth is about as hard as I push the driver. I do wish there was a quality open source 3D driver in the kernel, like I had for my VooDoo3 way way back when.

Automagically? Care to elaborate on that? Sounds like a useful mechanism to me.

Me too, but why shouldn't it?
We've rarely had any problems with Nvidia's proprietary drivers with CentOS, or RHEL for that matter. YMMV of course, just curious on what kind of problems you've had?
