Download the tarballs for your system.  Assuming the smp version doesn't 
require anything special:
1.  Log out to the console.  su to root.  
2.  cd <to_where_the_tarballs_are>  (ex:  cd /home/s/Archives/)
3.  tar -zxvf <the_file's_name.tar.gz>  
(ex:  tar -zxvf NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251.tar.gz)
4.  tar -zxvf <the_glx.tar.gz>
5.  cd NVIDIA_kernel<whatever>-1.0-1251/
6.  make (and wait)
7.  s
8.  cd NVIDIA_GLX<whatever>-1.0-1251/
9.  make (wait)
10.  vi /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
11.  type:  a   (changes to insert mode)
12.  Scroll down to modules section and add:
Load    "glx"      (under Load   "dbe")
13.  Scroll down to Graphics device section and change
"nv" to "nvidia"
14.  type:  <esc> :wq  (that's the escape button, then a colon, w, q)
