You've got problems with your config file.
1) You are using the "nv" driver that comes with XFree86 but you are
trying to load the glx module from NVIDIA's binary release (and an
old one at that). Remove /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so
so that it will use the one from Mesa that comes with XFree86 instead.
2) You've specified Option "UseFBDev" "true" indicating that a
framebuffer device should be used to setup the card rather than
letting the "nv" driver do it, yet you don't have a framebuffer
device in your kernel (I wouldn't recommend it either). Remove
the UseFBDev option.
Alternatively, you could install the binary drivers from NVIDIA's
web site. I'd recommend version 3123 because 4191 had some problems.
Mark.
