I use Kubuntu, so can't help on the Gnome front.  There may be something
with your computer trying to run Compiz Fusion -- which is supposed to
be installed by default in Gutsy for machines that can handle it.

That being said, according to nvidia, the GeForce 3 should be supported
by the later drivers included in nvidia-glx.  There are issues with the
nvidia-glx driver in Gutsy that were not present in Feisty.  nvidia-glx
worked find in Feisty for my GeForce FX 5700 LE.  In Gutsy, I get basic
KDE functionality, but anything that requires glx is broken.

As an example, under Gutsy, when I run glxgears, the window that
*should* show a set of moving gears is just blank.  Meanwhile, in the
console screen where I ran the glxgears command, its showing appalling
performance calculations around 1.0 fps or less, until it finally
crashes.

I don't think that the issue is a matter of your card not being
supported as much as it seems to be an issue of nvidia-glx not working
correctly.
