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
