Which bzip'd tarball did you download? The one from kernel.org? That
won't work..
The right tarball is shipped by the linux-source package I pointed you
too:
/usr/src/linux-source-2.6.29.tar.bz2
just untar it and then tell the nvidia installer to use that path
(there should be some environment variable to set I think).

Sorry, that's currently broken.

If the chip is supported, Xorg should use the nv module automatically.
Ciao!
