Not so helpful as to provide the actual list of supported products. Since I have nothing
better to do today, I eventually found the actual list at:

http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-310.32-driver.html

By luck, it's the list for the same version of the driver as was helpfully
pushed into my computers by elrepo:

iris01:~$ rpm -q kmod-nvidia
kmod-nvidia-310.32-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64

I vote to have it linked from http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-nvidia

Yes, as I said, one bites the hand that feeds us. Not the hand of the nice people where this yummy dogfood ultimately comes from.
