I've now built these packages and have just uploaded them to the testing repository.

The packages are named:

kmod-nvidia-96xx
nvidia-x11-drv-96xx

We need testers to test these packages.

The 96.43.xx driver supports the following set of GPUs

The latest nvidia driver is built against kernel -128, and is kABI compatible with kernels >= 2.6.18-128 (up to -164 at this time).

Thus, kmod-nvidia-96xx-96.43.14-1.el5.elrepo is built against 2.6.18-128.

Presumably we need to add some conflicts to prevent users trying to install both legacy and current nvidia packages?

conflicts: nvidia-kmod
conflicts: nvidia-x11-drv

Yes, I think adding those Conflicts lines would do the job.

kmod-nvidia-96xx (built against 2.6.18-128) appears to be kABI compliant with all current RHEL5 kernel series:

# find /lib/modules -name nvidia.ko | grep 'nvidia-96xx'
/lib/modules/2.6.18-128.7.1.el5/weak-updates/nvidia-96xx/nvidia.ko
