ok, my driver problem is solved, so it's not a problem.

I just grabbed, from the nvidia site, the most recent nvidia
driver:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-100.14.19-pkg2.run

and installed it, and amazing thing of all amazing
things, it works like a charm with the latest SL5 kernel
just posted:

kernel-2.6.18-8.1.10.el5.x86_64

so never mind my last post.
