I had the same problem with my GForce4... I downloaded and installed 
Xupdate.tgz from XFree86.org and ran the simple script. Then installed then 
installed NVIDIA_GLX from the tarball and the NVIDIA-kernel and did startx 
.... worked first shot. I did have to make some changes to XF86Config-4 but 
that is explained in detail in the readme you'll find on the nvidia d'load 
page
