I'm interested in trying out 310, as I read elsewhere that they improve
performance (lower the CPU usage) of xorg, and having bad problems with
xorg cpu usage (it spikes after my system is up for more than about 12
hours, even when I'm doing nothing other than running htop).

I downloaded and built the OK, but:

Did you have any problems with libnvcuvid.so?

I see:

rpm -q -l -p ./xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-310.19-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm | grep
libnvcuvid.so
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libnvcuvid.so
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libnvcuvid.so.1
/usr/lib64/nvidia/libnvcuvid.so.310.19

But on install I get a missing dependency for libnvcuvid.so, this:

# yum localinstall ./xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-310.19-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm ./xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-310.19-1.fc17.x86_64.rpm

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

Thanks ...
