...

the rpmforge driver *is* the proprietary nvidia driver. It's just nicely packaged in an rpm, with dkms for rebuilding when you get a new kernel. It's also not the latest version, which may or may not be a problem for you. It's working well enough for a lot of people, but YMMV.

Thx, I'm trouble-shooting now. Dkms autoinstaller something-or-other didn't go down too well. Looks promising though. 8-)

It worked! Turns out I had some other Nvidia-driver already installed. Running "yum reinstall Nvidia-x11-drv" and "yum install kernel*" fixed it. Now /etc/X11/xorg.conf says it's using driver "nvidia" instead of "nv".

Thanks for the help guys!
