[elrepo] nvidia driver works for me

Hi,

New to the list but I've been a happy elrepo user for a while now. 
Thanks for this nice repo!

I recently migrated 2 centos 5 x86_64 systems from the rpmforge dkms 
nvidia packages, to the elrepo kmod ones currently in testing:
nvidia-x11-drv-185.18.36-2.el5.elrepo.x86_64
kmod-nvidia-185.18.36-2.el5.elrepo.x86_64

They work fine AFAICT.
The weak-update stuff worked well when installing kernel 2.6.18-164.

The only issue I had is that after installation my xorg.conf used the nv 
driver instead of nvidia. I suspect this is because I uninstalled the 
rpmforge packages and installed the elrepo ones at the same time, and 
the scripts didn't get called in the right order. I don't know if you 
can do anything about it, and it's not a big problem anyways.

Regards,
Nicolas
