    You can get the drivers at http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html . They are for all Nvidia cards on systems running Linux, FreeBSD or Solaris.

    You are using Linux, not FreeBSD, so download the driver that is labeled Linux.

    If you are running a 32 bit system get the IA32 drivers (I suggest you try these first). If you have a 64 bit system them get the IA64 drivers.

    1. Start Konsole or gnome-terminal and switch to root using the "su -" command
    2. enter the command "init 3" to kill the X server and get into text mode
    3. When you get dropped to text mode, login as root and navigate to the directory where you download the nvidia driver
    4. enter the command "sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-9746-pkg1.run"
    5. when the driver is installed edit /etc/X11/xorg.config and change the graphics driver from nv to nvidia
    6. run the command "init 5" to get back to gui mode
