Sorry, the Nvidia repo installation is broken!

"Nvidia pkgs are in repos, no need to compile anymore"

-------------------------------------------------

Wrong! Because it results in a Nvidia installation where X.Org always uses software rasterizer instead!

X.Org always gives errors. IIRC, about a file missing and always uses software mode no matter what and trying to fix it results in a black screen crash!

And the Nvidia settings panel always shows an error, "Failed to get GLX info" or similar.

Re: Sorry, the Nvidia repo installation is broken!

This is at least true for 3.0

Compiling a kernel and using Nvidia's installer solves the problem.
