I have tried the nVidia driver (freshrpms version) and also various
other versions using the freshrpms source rpm as a basis for my own rpm.
 As I have explained in this thread, these drivers don't work for me for
various reasons.  However, there is still something that I can (and
will) try (using the 7184 version with the composite extension disabled).
