 Updates to 190.53 currently uploading to the main repo.

Please note that for this release we have moved the 32-bit compatibility libs into a separate sub-package on x86_64.

kmod-nvidia-190.53-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-nvidia-PAE-190.53-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-190.53-1.el5.elrepo.i386.rpm

kmod-nvidia-190.53-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-190.53-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

 I installed the 3 rpms for x86_64. Found 2 lib files red-blinking.

$ ls -l `(rpm -ql nvidia-x11-drv | grep -v share )`

/usr/lib64/nvidia/libvdpau_nvidia.so -> libvdpau_nvidia.so.190.42
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libvdpau_trace.so -> libvdpau_trace.so.190.42

The file libvdpau.so.190.53 exists but libvdpau_trace.so does not.

 Those (below) are stale old symlinks from version 190.42.

libvdpau_nvidia and libvdpau_trace are now in /nvidia/vdpau so they should point to the /vdpau sub-directory:

/usr/lib64/nvidia/libvdpau_nvidia.so -> vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.%{version}
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libvdpau_trace.so -> vdpau/libvdpau_trace.so.%{version}

The handling of vdpau libs changed in 190.xx and we initially missed it when we updated from 185.xx. libvdpau still resides in /nvidia, but libvdpau_nvidia and libvdpau_trace now reside in /vdpau (and are also symlinked in /nvidia for backwards compatibility)

This is what you should have:

$ ll /usr/lib64/nvidia/ | grep vdpau
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 Feb 22 01:05 libvdpau_nvidia.so -> vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.190.53
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 22 01:05 libvdpau.so -> libvdpau.so.190.53
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Feb 22 01:05 libvdpau.so.1 -> libvdpau.so.190.53
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4888 Feb 22 00:50 libvdpau.so.190.53
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 30 Feb 22 01:05 libvdpau_trace.so -> vdpau/libvdpau_trace.so.190.53
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 22 01:05 vdpau

and

$ ll /usr/lib64/nvidia/vdpau/
total 1500
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 Feb 22 01:05 libvdpau_nvidia.so.1 -> libvdpau_nvidia.so.190.53
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1456352 Feb 22 00:50 libvdpau_nvidia.so.190.53
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 Feb 22 01:05 libvdpau_trace.so.1 -> libvdpau_trace.so.190.53
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 49752 Feb 22 00:50 libvdpau_trace.so.190.53

I'm not sure why those symlinks are not correctly updated by rpm. I dropped into run level 3, uninstalled the old packages and reinstalled the new (rather than yum updating), and everything was as expected.

Perhaps you could try reinstalling with:

rpm -Uvh --replacepkgs nvidia-x11-drv-<version>.rpm

and see if the symlinks get created correctly.

installed for me fine (after removing the previous nvidia binary installer and fixing the leftover listed in /var/log/nvidia-installer.log)

cuda sdk and toolkit manually installed and seems to work fine.

Thanks :)

 So... what is the fate of the request? Adding CUDA support is still on the table or it's been abandoned?

 It doesn't look like something I want to maintain - sorry.

If anyone wants to take it on, feel free, although I'm unsure how well it "fits" for elrepo (maybe better suited to rpmrepo or even Scientific Linux?).
