Try using the src.rpm files instead of the RH specific rpm's. Worked a treat for me and RH8.

Ha ha hahahah hahahhahah <slap> Sorry

I didn't say a word. I typed all this instead..

nVidia Driver Installation NHF
nVidia driver page

Download the script, then open an x terminal and give these commands:

su -
<answer prompt with root's password>
chmod 755 /path/to/<filename>.sh
/path/to/<filename>.sh

Watch out for capital letters. Linux is case sensitive and iirc, it's named NVchoser.sh or NVChoser.sh

What these strange commands do:

chmod 755 - Make a file executable (sets the executable flag for owner,group,others)

/path/to/<filename>.sh
or
./<filename>.sh (when you are in the directory with the script)

Executes the file.
