For those with legacy Nvidia cards who prefer to use Nivida's
proprietary driver,  the current production
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.18-pkg1.run
will build but not load due to the recurrence of the miEmptyData missing
reference issue.

However, Nvidia has release candidate NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.19-pkg1.run
available on their ftp servers at url:
           ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/96.43.19/
which does indeed build and load  properly.

I assume rpmfusion will incorporate this as a kmod/akmod soon after
Nvidia releases it as a production driver after they complete testing
(which probably will be soon).
