I have to agree with Ric here. I never did get dkmk or whatever its called 
to work even though I did ask for directions here, so I've been doing the 
official nvidia way, from their latest linux 9755 build.  No detectable 
errors, none, nada, it just works.  What it is, is a PITA to have to do 
it everytime I boot a different kernel, which may be 5 or 6 times a day.  
But that's my choice as I play the role of the canary.  As for fighting 
with selinux, nope, disabled, end of discussion.
