Yes, I've been using it too without problem, but now that I know better,
I'm doing it the right way.  ;-)

For anyone who's interested, I'm attaching a script to automatically
update your NVIDIA driver if, when you boot up, the driver is detected
to have been invalidated (either thru an XFree86/Mesa upgrade or a
kernel upgrade), which has worked wonderfully for me with all the
changes in Rawhide lately.  Note that it requires kernel-source and
gcc32 installed to work, and the kernel now must be one compiled w/ gcc
3.2.

And don't be surprised it if it breaks, it's really not made to be super
robust.  ;-)

Install instructions are in the script's comments.
