The right tarball is shipped by the linux-source package I pointed you too: /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.29.tar.bz2 just untar it and then tell the nvidia installer to use that path (there should be some environment variable to set I think).

If the chip is supported, Xorg should use the nv module automatically. Ciao!
