For me, this driver has some serious issues with a 2.6 kernel on an AMD64 box. I have sent a bug report to itesupport, once I got them to acknowledge that they actually wrote the driver (the first response was to talk to nvidia!), but I've heard nothing since. Distro is Gentoo 2004.0 - had to shoehorn in the source code into the linux kernel tree, as it wouldn't build outside of the tree.
