This work for me in RH7.1-XFS with XFree86 4.1.0
Download the source tgz from nvidia ftp site,
Make "make install" in both packages-tree.
Start your xserver with the correct lines in XF86Config-4
if start well, but in the next reboot don't start
run only "makedevices.sh" from the Nvidia-kernel soure tree.
I run in every start with a line in "rc.local"
