Hi all,
Just a quick heads up that NVidia has made available new drivers (version 5336) available, which now include support for the 2.6 kernel.
I am not running 2.6, however I did install the new drivers this morning on a Dell i8200 laptop with a 64 Mb 440 Go card. Using the 4496 drivers, I got around 2000 FPS with glxgears. With 5336, I am getting around 2100 FPS with glxgears.

I've just installed it as well, and it went in just fine without using the CC="gcc32" drill.
Am I misunderstanding your frames-per-second though? I looked at the frames-per-second for the gears screensaver, and I'm seeing only around 50 fps. That's on a stock PogoLinux Veronna workstation.

I think the difference is that you are probably running the gears screensaver full screen, whereas the numbers that I gave above are from glxgears running from a console, which is not full screen. If I run gears full screen, showing the FPS, I am also getting around 50 FPS.
Here is a sampling of the output during glxgears from a console:
10226 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2045.200 FPS 10246 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2049.200 FPS 10230 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2046.000 FPS 10220 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2044.000 FPS 10218 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2043.600 FPS 10157 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2031.400 FPS 10187 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2037.400 FPS
These numbers are about 50 - 75 FPS slower than what I first got after starting X, before loading other apps. These numbers are with Evolution and gmplayer running.
BTW, I forgot to mention that I am running the 2.4.22-1.2163.nptl kernel.
HTH,

Is that an offical kernel I have
2.4.22-1.2149.nptl and was under the impression that my system was up2date ?
