you get nvidia driver sources from nvidia itself
http://nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
( graphic drivers for linux )
use their silly installer .. works good when/if you manually go
in and fix the things they mess up and didnt clean up properly :-)

make sure glxgears ( tests openGL ) work before playing with nvidia
make sure you do NOT have duplicate new and obsolete libs in the various
x11 directories
/usr/lib /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/modules ...
you get glx from
ftp://ftp.sgi.com/sgi/opengl/glx/glx1_2.1.tgz
more glx/dri/drm fun and 3D displays
