- Download NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.09-pkg1.run (or the other one if you're running a 64 bit system) to your home folder (/home/simon/ for me)
- switch to pty1 (CTRL+ALT+F1)
- log in
- sudo service kdm stop (will kill X server) (or gdm if you are running gnome)
- sudo sh ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.09-pkg1.run
- say yes to everything (will compile nvidia kernel module)
- sudo reboot now (reboot now !!)

And that should be enough, login and check that "glxinfo | grep direct" says "YES"

Worked for me, kubuntu 8.10 32 bits, old geforce TI 4200
Good luck !
