Install the src.rpm with
rpm -i ...src.rpm
and then
rpmbuild -bp --target i686 ...spec

You'll get the kernel source tree just before the kernel starts to
build, e.g. all patches applied, configs fixed etc.

Then you'll still need to run at least make prepare.

OR:

If you are lucky and the video driver only uses include/linux you can
use the kernel-suspend2-devel package. These are not full sources just
the exported headers, and about 70-90% of all kernel modules need only
these headers.
