OK here you go. First goto the Nvidia web page at:


http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_100.14.19.html

and do the things fist and D/L the file:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run

You will run this file with ./sh and do this while your not in 
X-Windows. It will build you the proper kernel driver and will write a 
/etc/X11/xorg.conf file that gives you full 3d performance.
