Yes, I was kidding. RPM is the spawn of the devil/red hat (almost
interchangeable, but not quite. Red hat is more, um, evil priest). Get the
source tarball. It's good for you.

As far as NVidia's policy goes, though, there XFree86 3.3.6 driver
policy stank (no source AT ALL), but at least you get to roll yer own for
XF86 4.
