2.6.9 - i'm pretty sure this is where nvidia video drivers stopped
working for me. i've been able to compile and load the 6629 drivers on
>= 2.6.9, but .... let me tell you - it doesn't do anything *good* for
video acceleration ... a black screen and a few icons is all it can
manage on the latest kernels :(

have a look at the nvidia forums - everyone's basically camping out for
the next release ... until then, i wouldn't bother with them on a kernel
after 2.6.8.

that said, a number of people *do* seem to have gotten them to work - is
it worth the pain and heartache though? no.
