OK, folks, I can't really help you on this one.  I think closed source 
drivers are the quintessence of evil and I'll have to put a wreath of garlic 
on my computer, and sprinkle it with holy water after this cross-post.

But here it is FWIW


Hi

Here is how I did it, on an older installation that already had the old 
drivers installed and patched for devfs.

This is basically based on this mail:
http://www.mail-archive.com/cooker@linux-mandrake.com/msg41917.html

I went to:
http://www.cyber.com.au/users/ashridah/

>From which I downloaded the file:
 nvidia_devfs-patch_1.0-1512.patch

I renamed the file to:
 nvidia_devfs-patch_1.0-1512.diff

and used the the command, in the directory above /NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1512, the 
result of unpacking NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1512.tar.gz:
patch -p0 < nvidia_devfs-patch_1.0-1512.diff

Then I entered the above directory, and "make install".

I opned the  NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-1512.tar.gz  and subsequently "make install".

If you are doing it on a fresh install the above mail adds two things to do.
