Like I have done for the ATI fglrx drivers, I have written a script to automatically package (and download if need be) the NVIDIA 1.0-9626 display drivers to make it an easy installation process for those new to Linux.
The script can be downloaded @ http://www.michaellarabel.com/downlo...ia-fc6-9626.sh
To build the NVIDIA drivers you need kernel-devel and kernel-headers installed along with xorg-X11-server-sdk and the standard development packages.
The script should work with both x86 and x86_64 architectures. If the driver is unable to locate the x86 or x86_64 driver in the working directory as the script, it will attempt to download the respective architecture from NVIDIA HTTP. The script is set to work for the 1.0-9626 display drivers.
All this script does is automatically patch the nv-linux header file so it no longer relies on linux/config.h but now refers to linux/autoconf.h. This script should no longer be needed once NVIDIA releases new updated drivers.
This was made at user request, and I haven't properly tested it, etc... yet. If you run into any problems just post.
Also, Livna is a viable alternative for those who want RPMs.
