There is a nice section about that at http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/, but
here is an nvidia only section:

Pick one or more of the five available nvidia kernel drivers:

nvidia-graphics4363-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl-1.0_4363-46.rhfc1.at.athlon.rpm
nvidia-graphics4496-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl-1.0_4496-46.rhfc1.at.athlon.rpm
nvidia-graphics4620-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl-1.0_4620-46.rhfc1.at.athlon.rpm
nvidia-graphics5328-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl-1.0_5328-46.rhfc1.at.athlon.rpm
nvidia-graphics-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl-1.0_5336-46.rhfc1.at.athlon.rpm

with the matching userland bits:

nvidia-graphics4363-1.0_4363-46.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm
nvidia-graphics4496-1.0_4496-46.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm
nvidia-graphics4620-1.0_4620-46.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm
nvidia-graphics5328-1.0_5328-46.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm
nvidia-graphics-1.0_5336-46.rhfc1.at.i386.rpm

You will also need the atrpms package, which provides kernel module
update helpers.

Your best bet is to use apt/yum with something like

apt-get install nvidia-graphics4620-kmdl-2.4.22-1.2166.nptl nvidia-graphics4620

for instance (for the 4620 driver)

Use nvidia-graphics-switch to switch between multiple drivers.
