You can download nVidia's Linux drivers (both kernel level driver and the X driver) from their website at www.nvidia.com or if you might be able to find some "leaked" drivers at www.guru3d.com I have used these drivers before and they work quite well even if they do fly in the face of the spirit of open source.
