Looks like your src.rpm file did not transfer correctly. Try downloading it again. And instead of using the wildcard (*) in your rpm command try each file individually by typing:
# rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.src.rpm
# rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm
which should create the binary RPMs in the "/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386" directory. Once you get the binary RPMs install them by:
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NV*
Then just change "nv" to "nvidia" in your /etc/X11/XF86Config and when you restart X it should load with the nVidia drivers.

ya, i guess if a something downloads at 666 bytes/sec, there *might* be something wrong w/ it...

Is this over dialup or an Ethernet interface? If this is over your Ethernet interface (via Cable/DSL, etc) does it also exhibit this slow/erratic behavior to any server, even on your local network? If so, this may also be the root cause of your erratic X operation. X is highly network dependent. Especially if you don't have it configured optimally. If this is the case you should try adding your local host name at the end of the localhost line in your /etc/hosts and see if that helps solve your X problems.
For instance, if your computer name is "siplus" then your localhost line in /etc/hosts would look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost siplus
Once you make this change you might have to restart X (although I don't believe it is necessary).
And of course if that seems to fix or help your problem you might want to figure out what is wrong with your network. Whether it's driver or hardware related...

nah, i have dial-up through AT&T and i once in awhile my connection goes real slow (although 666 bytes/sec is byfar the slowest i have ever seen it short of not dling at all)
but back to the driver install, you said:
# rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-3123.src.rpm
# rpmbuild --rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-3123.src.rpm
which should create the binary RPMs in the "/usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386" directory. Once you get the binary RPMs install them by:
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386/NV*
