nvidia-current is OK for me on mga5-32

As noted in the last IRC meeting, this update needs pushing to clear the way for forthcoming kernel updates. All the Comments above (to which I cannot add, not having nVidia) are favourable; so I am putting in the OKs.

I noticed the nvidia304-kernel-desktop-latest-304.128-1.mga5.nonfree.i586.rpm (The nvidia304 drivers hadn't been tested).  I happen to have an old box that uses them.

It worked, though the first boot after installing it was SLOW to get to log-in.  Is it downloading something?

Seems to be working fine.  Visited heavily graphic web-sites and it managed its way through them.

tested out fine.  It added the html one was well
