The nVidia drivers are distribution agnostic, although you may have
to have the kernel sources installed. If you want just 2d graphics use
the "nv" driver as per a previous post. If you want 3d acceleration
grab the driver *.run file from nvidia.com, run it as root and install
the drivers (trivial) and use the "nvidia" driver instead.

Works like a charm.
