choosing the appropriate NVIDIA driver for rhel 5.6
Hello,
I need to choose a driver for working on Red Hat Linux Enterprise 5.6, and as there is no redhat driver I need to choose an nvidia driver. My question is very simple, and any one who had worked with rhel 5.6 could have the answer, so I would be so thankful to get responsed. I need to know which nvidia driver works well with rhel 5.6. To be a little bit more precise, I should note that my main goal is working with Ansys software, which is a fluid mechanics software, and so the driver needs to be compatible with that as well.
Thanks for any help.

You can determine which version of the Nvidia driver works for your Nvidia device by using nvidia-detect [1] from ELRepo. Then install the appropriate package(s) from the same repo. Pleasee see [2] for details.
