John Hull from Dell has packaged up the NVidia drivers that we release
for our Precision workstations, using DKMS.  

ftp://ftp.dell.com/video/
 dell-nvidia-7167-5dkms.src.rpm
 dell-nvidia-7167-multiarch-5.tar.gz

I don't know where he's at with getting NVidia do to this work for
him, but as long as we've got to do it, it'll get done...

Thanks,
Matt
