Install XFree86 4.0.1.  Get the src.rpms from NVidia.  As root, do a rpm
--rebuild NVIDIA_kernel-file-name and rpm --rebuild NVIDIA_glx-file-name. 
In /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i686 you'll find the binaries.  Install them.  In your
X configuration for XFree 4 (/etc/X11/XF86Config-4), you'll find a section
called "Device".  In there, there's a line "Driver".  Make that to Read
'Driver "nvidia"'.

Done.

When you install a new kernel, you'll have to rebuild the NVIDIA_kernel
src.rpm and reinstall it with --force.  You don't need to compile the kernel
by yourself, the Mandrake kernels contain everything (and much more) that
your need.
