I _am_ using the latest NVIDIA driver:
nick@nikolas:~$ dmesg | grep NVIDIA
nvidia: module license 'NVIDIA' taints kernel.
NVRM: loading NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-7167 Fri Feb

nick@nikolas:~$ ll /lib/modules/`uname -r`/nvidia
total 4315
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4399395 2005-03-27 12:29 nvidia.ko
