Are you referring to the framebuffer driver (rivafb) or to the X driver
(nv)? The former is unnecessary for X, and the latter doesn't actually
use a kernel m

get the error about permissions on /dev/nvidiactl. Per the NVIDIA

Geesh... I *finally* found the problem. I my X log, there was a line
mentioning "LoadKernelModule No such file or directory". When I
started Googling for that, I finally wound up looking at some source

Shouldn't you set some modes for the size of your screen in the display subsection?
Attached is an xorg.conf from when I used to use the Nvidia module
