Roberto-
Bugzilla seems to be down right now <http://bugzilla.redhat.com> or I'd
point you to the specific bug thread regarding NVidia drivers and Red
Hat releases (if I recall correctly, it is one of the most active
bugs), but the issue boils down to the fact that since NVidia releases
their driver ONLY in a binary format (no source), Red Hat CAN AND WILL
not help resolve any issues with the NVidia drivers. Try checking
out the NVidia Linux support forum at
<http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14> It is
regularly visited by the NVidia Linux driver developer(s), and is a
pretty active forum. Someone there should probably be able to help you
out. Hope this helps,
