Interestingly enough, in the NVidia license.txt file:

"2.1.2  Linux Exception.  Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of Section 2.1.1, 
SOFTWARE designed exclusively for use on the Linux operating system may be 
copied and redistributed, provided that the binary files thereof are not
modified in any way (except for unzipping of compressed files).
"

anyway...

I use the src rpms from NVIdia on a GeFORCE II card and everytime I install
a new kernel I have to rebuild and reinstall the src rpms.  This usually
looks something like:

rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2313.src.rpm
rpm -i --force /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-2313.i386.rpm
rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2314.src.rpm
rpm -i --force /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-2314.i386.rpm

Some of this might be redundant but I dont need to think about it. :-)

Oh yes, "killall gdm"
