Hmm, what driver version?  The earlier versions used to have a patch I
wrote to get the support and then they did their own code.  The last two
or so releases however did not support this as far as I know (could be
wrong, but do not look that way .. or with 2.6.11/12+ and 1.0.7* at
least):

-----
lycan ~ # grep nvidia /dev/.udevdb/*
lycan ~ # bzcat /lib64/udev-state/devices.tar.bz2 | tar -t
nvidiactl
