Announcing the release of updated nvidia packages in the elrepo repository:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia

x86:
kmod-nvidia-195.36.31-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-nvidia-PAE-195.36.31-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-195.36.31-1.el5.elrepo.i386.rpm

x86_64:
kmod-nvidia-195.36.31-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-195.36.31-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-195.36.31-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

This release provides an updated nvidia driver, version 195.36.31, and 
is kABI compatible with all kernels from 5.3 (kernel-2.6.18-128.el5) 
upwards.

It is built to depend upon the specific ABI provided by a range of 
releases of the same variant of the Linux kernel and not on any one 
specific build.

NOTE: Due to the appearance of a bug in el5.5, *updating* of kmod 
packages is broken with el5.5. When updating, *reinstalling* the package 
after the initial update will fix the issue, so users are advised to:

yum update kmod-nvidia
yum reinstall kmod-nvidia

then reboot your system to use the new driver.


Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
