As far as I can ascertain, the nvidia driver that you get when you

emerge nvidia-kernel nvidia-glx

is  	

Linux Display Driver - IA32
Version: 1.0-4496
Operating System: Linux IA32
Release Date: July 28, 2003

whereas the latest version seems to be
 	
Linux Display Driver - IA32
Version: 1.0-5328
Operating System: Linux IA32
Release Date: December 22, 2003

or is it ?

So, as I don't seem to be able to install the driver when I download it from 
the nvidia site (I can't work out how to "accept" nvidia's t's and c's, which 
I am supposed to do before I download the actual driver, and even if I try 
using the -a or --accept-license arguments, I just get the same "wrong check 
sum reply after I do the "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5328-pkg1.run" command), 
how would I upgrade it, because as far as I can work out, I've got the 
1.0-4496 version from doing the emerge command and would like try the 
1.0-5328 version ??
