    This is the way I did it:-

    Download driver from http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux.html
    Boot into console (non graphical mode) (I think this step is important. X cannot be running.)
    Run the downloaded script
    Change XF86Config-4 as instructed

    At one stage, the script will compile the kernel. Change my system to boot back into graphical mode and everything works.

    When you got the kernel headers you made the proper symbolic link right? eg ln -s /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.22-xfs /usr/src/linux

    Then from a console login from the menu item on the kde login screen login as normal user the use su to become root. Next /etc/init.d/kdm stop. Then change to the directory with the Nvidia installer and use export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=1 or export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-2.95 then run the installer and decline the offer to go to the nvidia site to get a precompiled version and accept the offer to compile watch it compile and make sure you have made the proper changes in the XF86Config-4 and then /etc/init.d/kdm restart and you ashould have a Nvidia splash screen when starting kdm. If this does not work can you post any errors and the XF86Config-4 file that you are using.

    Sorry I made a mistake there I did a fresh install on my spare computer and the kernel headers are in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 directory so the line would be ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.4.22 /usr/src/linux to link the kernel headers and I notice that I missed the file /etc/modutils/aliases as well. You should have the line:
    Code:
    alias char-major-195 nvidia
    In the file and still as root you should run update-modules to update the modules.conf you may have to reboot for this to be detected.

    Another thing I noticed while playing around is that the

    Code:
    FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/defoma/CID" 
     FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/defoma/TrueType"
    Directories do not exist on the system so you may want to comment out these as well and you may want to move the Type1 line down to the bottom of the fonts paths other than that the file look fine. Again sorry for the wrong information and incomplete post.
