The 6629 driver does not work on Riva TNT2 cards, but works fine (for me at least) on a GF4 440MX and GF 5200. Driver 6111 (patched) works fine for all 3 cards listed above. And neither driver requires the kernel source to be present. You _will_ need to read the Release Notes (search for nvidia and udev) to get everything working smoothly. What is the output of: lsmod|grep nvidia ? You should see something like: nvidia 3473436 22 If so, you probably forgot to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to specify the binary nvidia driver.
