I've got a NVIDIA FX 5600 and I'm trying to install the driver from the NVIDIA website.
When I execute sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6629-pkg1.run, my machine hangs when the kernel module is build 100%.
My nvidia-installer.log looks like this:

-> There appears to already be a driver installed on your system (version: 1.0-
5336). As part of installing this driver (version: 1.0-6629), the existing
driver will be uninstalled. Are you sure you want to continue? ('no' will a
bort installation) (Answer: Yes)
-> No precompiled kernel interface was found to match your kernel; would you li
ke the installer to attempt to download a kernel interface for your kernel f
rom the NVIDIA ftp site (
ftp://download.nvidia.com)? (Answer: Yes)
-> No matching precompiled kernel interface was found on the NVIDIA ftp site;
this means that the installer will need to compile a kernel interface for
your kernel.

WARNING: Your kernel was configured to include rivafb support as
a loadable kernel module.
The rivafb driver conflicts with the NVIDIA driver; the
NVIDIA kernel module will still be built and installed,
but be aware that the NVIDIA driver will not be able to
