Announcing the release of updated kmod-nvidia packages in the EL5 and 
EL6 elrepo testing repositories.

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

These packages are currently syncing to the mirrors.

*EL5*
x86
kmod-nvidia-270.41.03-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
kmod-nvidia-PAE-270.41.03-1.el5.elrepo.i686.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-270.41.03-1.el5.elrepo.i386.rpm

x86-64
kmod-nvidia-270.41.03-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-270.41.03-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-270.41.03-1.el5.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

*EL6*
x86
kmod-nvidia-270.41.03-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-270.41.03-1.el6.elrepo.i686.rpm

x86-64
kmod-nvidia-270.41.03-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-270.41.03-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-270.41.03-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm


These releases are 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: This release drops the VDPAU libs from the nvidia-x11-drv package. 
Users requiring VDPAU support should install the freedesktop.org 
libvdpau package (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/VDPAU) from a 
3rd party repository (EPEL currently ships libvdpau for both el5 and el6).


You can update your system by:

yum --disablerepo=\* --enablerepo=elrepo-testing update kmod-nvidia

Please reboot your system after applying this update.


Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
