Rob, I follow you on points 1 and 2, but not 3. The nVidia has completely changed its driver policy, and now everything (driver, installation utility) comes in one self-expanding .run file. And this driver supports a range of their cards, including all the GeForces. So it's very simple now. What you do is to use a (downloaded or automatically compiled) interface to mediate the relation of your driver and kernel. Further, it is apparently free. Or at least I downloaded and installed the driver on woody and have not paid yet ;-). The driver's name is "nvidia."
