Yes, I've tried them, none made a difference. In fact when I logged off
(restarting X-server) the machine crashed. The nvidia driver may not be
very stable on my machine.

Other, related: I installed CentOS-6 (latest available RedHat distro for
a 32-bit machine). It does have the nvidia equivalent nouveau driver,
correct screen resolutions, and has not crashed yet. This is somewhat an
updated version of my old Fedora-3 system that I heavily customized.
xawtv works well if I boot to that system. So I tried tocompile xawtv on
the CentOS, but make ended up in error. See below some relevant info:

xawtv-3.95

./configure --enable-alsa --enable-gl --with-x

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating xawtv.spec
config.status: creating config.h

Thanks, and
