double check your Config-4 file that it has nvidia as the driver under device section and Load "GLX" under module section. Then: modprobe nvidia (the driver has changed from NVdriver to nvidia). And try to startx. If it works, put: /sbin/modprobe nvidia in your /etc/rc.d/rc.modules files. If X doesn't start, shoot us your errors from console and XFree86.0.log. hth, -s
