That's very bad advice! If you're going to install binary drivers at all
(they're known to cause stability and security problems, and they're probably
illegal because they link non-GPL code to the GPL kernel), at least install a
properly-packaged one so you don't get a big mess each time you update the
kernel and/or X.Org X11. That's what http://rpm.livna.org is for.
