nVidia does provide drivers for thier mobile GPU's; it's just that most are covered by the standard GeForce Forceware driver. The only one that differs is the GeForce Go 7800 GTX, which has its own separate Forceware driver.

To see the full listing of mobile GPUs supported by the Geforce Forceware driver, read through the NV4_DISP_GO.INF file's [strings] section after decompressing the downloaded driver file. This listing is from v81.98:

I'm asking how to install the driver unattendedly. The driver from nvidia' website cannot be installed unattendly on a mobile nvidia GPU.

Yes it can... i've installed it in a unattendly fashio hundreds of times... download the .exe or .msi from nvidia.com and then extract the .exe or .msi to a temp dir. Find the .inf and .cat and place them in ur $OEM$ folder structure and list them in ur unattend file. So much for machines being reinstalled... on already installed machines, I use the dpinst.exe tools from MS that is free of charge which can update existing installations..
