Hi,

nvidia-graphics needs some special handling before building it - the
buildroot needs to have the folder

/var/lib/nvidia

which the non-root builder can't create, so you need to do so as root
before calling rpmbuild. You also need to write

NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86_64 or
NVIDIA Accelerated Graphics Driver for Linux-x86

into /var/lib/nvidia/log, so the nvidia installer is fooled that you
have created the userland parts already.

BTW I started yesterday to build kmdls for centosplus, so perhaps you
could just lay back for half a day and you'll get the kmdls :)
(but it isn't wrong to get some exercise with kmdl building either :)
