Anyone? Is this working as intended?

Hi: I don't know what kernel and what nvidia driver you want, but there
seems to be a huge variety there at present - unlike the Fedora builds,
where most packages are still awaiting Axel's reauthorisation
formalities and/or his immediate attention. I'm looking here:

And there have also been recent posts about building you own using a
.src.rpm with a running kernel for which kmdls don't yet exist. May be
a little scary if you usually boot to an active graphics screen, of course!

Hmmm. There was basically nothing for 32-bit EL6 2+ weeks ago. If I tried
to install nvidia-graphics, it failed. Now, as I look today, the repo
appears to be corrected.
