Packages for FC6 (x86_64 and i686) available here:

http://people.atrpms.net/~pcavalcanti/rpms/nvidia/

This update seems interesting for people using the 8000 or quadro series
(the series capable of running CUDA).

Remember that when going from a lower version (11) to a higher version (19)
some people (like me) have problem loading the latest kmdl (19).
In this case the solution is to remove the previous kmdl (11) and reboot.
