Download the latest rc kernel.

Download the latest nvidia driver.

Here are the patches.

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost...14&postcount=54

Now extract the kernel enter the top level kernel directory. 

patch -p1 </[path to patch]/2.6.25-nvidia-fix.patch

Then make any changes you want to the kernel and compile it. 

fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd kernel_headers kernel_image

Now extract the nvidia installer 

sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.12-pkg2.run -x 
cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.12-pkg2 
patch -p1 </[path to patch]/nvidia-drivers-169.12-kernel.patch

Reboot into your new kernel

Do not run the Nvidia installer. Instead go to the Nvidia directory that was created when you extracted the driver. 
./nvidia-installer
NOTE::- this is linked to the x64 driver. The i-x86 should work out of the box.. but if you want to experiment you will know how to use the correct filenames ;)

That should solve some of these nvidia questions..
