As said in the previous answear,  this driver is aimed  to stay in
rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-testing and is for dedicated cases only
(such as nVidia CUDA support and etc). Most users wouldn't need to update.
There is also some performances loss with the newer 2.6.32 kernel and
current driver, and the current so it dosn't matter if it was compiled
only with kernel, so it does worth to update for the kernel in  F-11's
updates-testing too (kernel-2.6.32.10-44.fc11)
