Can you provide a URL to the nVidia driver that you've got?  I would
like to see what the package is dependant on.

nVidia (and ATI and Matrox) don't provide open source drivers so they
have to be built for the appropate kernel.  If you have a package then
someone has done the work, but it may not yet be built for the kernel
you've installed.
