Good luck getting NVidia working on an Opteron.  Their closed source driver 
is 32-bit only.  It won't be easy to shoehorn it into a 64bit kernel.  Even 
if it's possible at all.

There are many graphics cards with reliable, open source, native x.org 
drivers.  I suggest that you pick one, and support the vendors that support 
open source.
