It is actually already contained in Warty, so you don't need to
download them from there. Just install the linux-restricted-modules
that match your kernel (if you never changed your kernel,
'linux-restricted-modules-386' should work; otherwise -686 or -k7) and
package 'nvidia-glx'. Then do

  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86

Acceept all default answers but the one which asks for the driver.
Default answer should be 'nv', change this to 'nvidia', accept all
other default answers for the further questions and reboot.
