I strongly suggest you re-write the nvidia instructions. The link you
reference does not represent best practises and in contains factually
incorrect information with regard to the path to glxgears for fc5 and
onward with the modularized X packaging.

I strongly recommend you incorporate the information in
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-February/msg01565.html
which outlines in detail why prefering to use the nvidia/ati
installers instead of rpms can be problematic and that you modify your
document so that you are instructing people to use rpm packages
instead.
