There is a proprietary driver package that you can build that will support
them. I have a Guadro 4000 aka GL100GL on my workstation, and am running
6.6 current, and NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-310.40.run, which you can still d/l
from NVida's site, for it (I need the proprietary for two screens).

Hope that helps.
