NVidia in Warty-Hoary

I have two Unbutu installations. One is Warty and the other is Warty
upgraded to Hoary by replacing "Warty" with "Hoary" in the repositories.
I have an NVidia graphics card and have successfully intalled the NVIDIA
driver on my Warty installation by following the instructions in the
Unoffical Starter Guide. That is, to install nvidia-glx and
nvidia-settings, and then to enable nvidia-glx-config.
However, using that method does not work with the Hoary installation.
There is no NVidia logo and the XF86Config file still shows the "nv"
driver. I can also tell from the monitor set-up that it hasn't
installed. When it didn't work, I tried installing nvidia-kernel-common
to see if that solved it. But it doesn't.
Please, how is the NVIDIA driver installed in a Hoary upgrade?
Many thanks
Keith
