It does work, but there's a little more effort required, because you need
to recreate some /dev nodes at boot-up. Here's a script, adapted from the
one in the nVidia src rpm that'll do it:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/rmmod NVdriver
for d in 0 1 2 3
do
devfile=/dev/nvidia$d
rm -f $devfile
mknod $devfile c 195 $d
chmod 0666 $devfile
done
devfile=/dev/nvidiactl
rm -f $devfile
mknod $devfile c 195 255
chmod 0666 $devfile
confmod="/etc/conf.modules"
[ -f /etc/modules.conf ] && confmod="/etc/modules.conf"
conftmp=/tmp/conf$$
sed '/^alias.*char-major-.*NVdriver/d' < $confmod > $conftmp
echo "alias char-major-195 NVdriver" >> $conftmp
mv $conftmp $confmod
/sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe NVdriver
echo
echo NVdriver installed succesfully!
echo
exit 0
Could probably be improved upon, but it works for me.
