 i can only partially comment on your situation by sharing my experience.

I run RH6 and Nvidia card (GT240). The rpmforge rpm (latest and greatest)
for whatever reason, didn't work for me. It's possible that i did smth
wrong. But as a matter of learning i took upon a task of making an rpm from
source files myself.
After some struggle (due to my silliness) i got the 0.31.X version to work.
So, maybe, if you haven't done this yet, you can try to compile from source
and see if it works or not.
