There's a newer version on the nvidia site, but the kernel build fails on
my system with updates to vmlinuz-2.6.5-7.95-smp.  This fails saying it
can't build the kernel module using the directions on the SuSE site cited
above using NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run from nvidia which is
reputately the Latest & Greatest version.
