<pre wrap="">FWIW, the kmod and akmod method is not always the end all/be all for installing the nVidia drivers (I say this primarily when using
the rawhide kernels). There aren't kmods to use against the debug versions of the kernels and the akmod's won't compile against the
debug versions of the kernel source (it appears due to the nVidia license saying "NVIDIA" instead of "GPL"). I think the rpmfusion
nVidia driver packages are great most of the time, but there are shortcomings sometimes.

Not exactly the spirit of GPL but when the nouveau drivers don't
work the way you need them to and you have to use nVidia and you are
running rawhide kernels you do what you have to do on your local box
to make it work.<br>
