hi Jerome -

go here and download NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.29-pkg2.run
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_180.29.html

drop to run level 3 and log in as root...

run NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.29-pkg2.run

[root@host /root] # sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-180.29-pkg2.run

read the prompts and build the kernal module don't try to download..

edit you /etc/X11/xorg.conf to something of this effect...

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Videocard0"
	Driver      "nvidia"
	...
EndSection

after that there are all sorts of options for you to set up whatever you
feel based on display and distro...

cheers
