The driver from Nvidia's website is non-free software. gNewSense is 
about providing users like you with a completely free computing 
environment. Helping you install this driver would be the opposite of 
what this project stands for, so we won't help you with that.

The best that gNewSense can offer you now is the nv driver, which you're 
probably using by default if you have Nvidia hardware. The nouveau 
project is making a free driver with more features (like 3D support), 
but that's not finished or easily installable yet, as far as I know.
