Please check my post in this thread on how to use the ATrpms rpms for
nvidia-graphics and don't get irritated by some replies. The nvidia
rpms are maintained at ATrpms for more than two years, and have
reached a very high level of maturity (still any improvement
suggestions are welcome).

With apt you basically do

apt-get install nvidia-graphics6629-kmdl-`uname -r` nvidia-graphics6629

And move (after inspection) /etc/X11/xorg.conf.nvidia to /etc/X11/xorg.conf

(support for the latest Fedora Core kernels will be uploaded during
the day)
