To build the NVIDIA Drivers on RH8.0 do the following: Download the Kernel Source for your current Kernel. Copy the *.config file (For the CPU you are using) for your kernel into the /usr/src directory. Download the NVidia.SRC's then do the following:
rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel*.src.rpm (Place the correct filename you downloaded here) rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_GLX*.src.rpm (Same as above) rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_kernel*.i386.rpm (Same as above) rpm -ivh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NVIDIA_GLX*.i386.rpm (Same as above) And then modify your /etc/X11/XF86Config file as outlined in the README that came with the NVIDIA.RPM's Then RUN X This should help those with problems installing the NVIDIA drivers on RH8.0.
