Perhaps the kernel is too new for the driver.  Trying to install a driver 
for a TNT2 under Knoppix (kernel 2.4.20) it says that it needs to download 
an extra file from the nvidia site, then says that the file is not there.  
It then tries to compile without it and fails.  I can only assume that new 
drivers haven't been written yet, since I have the latest download.
