To solve this problem, I would suggest looking at NVIDIA's Linux driver on
their site (www.nvidia.com). They distribute binary-only modules for common
distributions, as well as a source rpm that contains open-source wrapper code
and a binary-only library that is compiled into a kernel module.
Of course, this whole problem goes away if your driver is open-source. :)
