patrick,
I hate to sound like a pr**k, but try Reading The Fine Manual. I also
have nVidia cards on my XFree40 boxen and I've read the installation
instructions supplied with the drivers I've downloaded from nVidia and
have found them to be very clear and straightforward in showing me
several ways to go about getting the drivers on my system. (The file
can be found at the link called "README and Installation Guide" on the
page you download your drivers.)
I could spell out the instructions here, but I'd just be
cutting-n-pasting from the installation guide off their website.
One hint though - disabling AGP has made them much more stable for me.
