Have you tried the patch file from http://www.minion.de/ I used the method 
described in the readme file as "2) install the kernel module (as root):" 
near the top of the file it worked perfectly. The page describes the patch as 
for test5 which I was using it on but it worked for test6 as well.

The files refered too:
http://www.minion.de/files/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4496-README
http://www.minion.de/files/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-4496-2-6.diff

May the source be with you!
