Matthew - I suggest going with the tarball format over the rpm. Perhaps this is my inexperience with using packages. Also, unless you are running SuSE, Nvidia doesn't offer an rpm for the lastest of the major distros, thus increasing the need to use the tarball format.
For each tarball, there is a README file that depicts the steps need to be taken. I've found these instructions okay, but the following URL offers a good step-by-step: http://www17.tomshardware.com/graphic/00q3/000811/ I used these install procedures to get hardware acceleration in the latest (4.2.x) of XFree86 with no problems.
