You have to edit it by hand and use the kernel module from
nvidia-kernel-source. You also need to install nvidia-glx-source and
build that. Once built, you need to install the resulting packages,
nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel.
nVidia made it hard because they won't openly license the specs to
thier adapters like other manufacturers do. I hate this situation, too.
