Right, but that was the issue - new kernel was out, I have updated as
prompted by the applet and after reboot I got greeted by the message
that X is using the free "nv" driver because the correct modules were
not in place.

OK, I think I have got the culprit - it was XFdrake that has installed it:

Jun 3 21:54:34 dvalin XFdrake[11523]: those kernel module packages can
be installed: nvidia-current-kernel-2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb
dkms-nvidia-current
Jun 3 21:54:35 dvalin XFdrake[11523]: running: /bin/rpm -q --qf %{name}
x11-driver-video-nv x11-driver-video-nvidia-current
nvidia-current-kernel-2.6.24.4-desktop-3mnb dkms-nvidia-current

See the last module?

$ rpm -q --whatprovides dkms-nvidia-current
dkms-nvidia-current-169.12-4mdv2008.1

Which is the source nvidia driver package. Why does XFdrake install
this? It was installing the binary package too.

Regards,

Jan
