Hi All,

After the upgrade from hell (6.1 --> 6.2) and not being
able to start X11, I found the following:

The nvidia drivers (kmod-nvidia, nvidia-x11-drv) failed to
open my display.  So, I had to revert to the  Nouveau
(xorg-x11-drv-nouveau) drivers.  Which, of course, I
had to install the hard way.

Has anyone got

    kmod-nvidia-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
    nvidia-x11-drv-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
    nvidia-x11-drv-32bit-295.20-1.el6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

to work on SL6.2 x64 successfully?  And, if so, what/how did
you do it?

Many thanks,
-T
