I've heard that it used to be a pain to install Nvidia drivers to get 3D
support. Sometime in the last year, however, Nvidia has simplified the
process to a single script file. Just download it and run it; for ALL
Nvidia graphics cards (old TNT2s to the latest 5900). I've used it
without trouble on several systems now. It compiles and installs kernel
modules and everything.
Oh, you still have to edit XF86Config, but the instructions tell you how.
