My home-rolled SRPM can be found at

This can be rebuilt for the kernel of your choice by simply doing

rpmbuild -ba --define 'kernel <uname -r>' nvidia.spec

where <uname -r> is the output of uname -r when running that kernel. If 
you want to rebuild for the running kernel, rpmbuild -ba nvidia.spec 
will do it. I rolled this SRPM because I couldn't get the livna one to 
rebuild without defining a load of things.

This rpm, unlike the livna one doesn't adjust the xorg.conf file - you 
have to do that manually.

HTH - and I give no warranty :)
