Can I go ahead and install this on my system, _AND_ do
I need to re-edit my XConfig file (as previously, removing DRI, and
changing "nv" to 'nvidia", switch to init 3, etc. or will the install
do
the necessary)?
The package is in QA, and therefore not quite ready for general use. A better
way would be to use Nvidia's installer.

If you're not sure, use the IA-32 driver. Btw, read the readme. Yes, all your
problems will be solved if you follow the instructions there :-).
Second question: how do I install the src package:
rpmrebuild -rebuild package, then rpm-ivh package? (sorry, I confess
I'm being a bit lazy ... or maybe it's Sunday morning... so go ahead and
rap my knuckles! <G>).
man rpmbuild
