When in doubt, "init 1" and run the X tool from "setup".
Also note what video card you are using?
Give me the exact make/model.
Understand that the "generic" GeForce FX (NV30) might not work for
latter FX cards (e.g., NV31, NV33, NV34, NV35, NV36, NV38 are different
FX models).
A major factor is the support of various cards for a particular
XFree/Xorg version.

In the worst case, the nVidia Standardware "nvidia" driver is always an
option for newer card support when you don't want to have to load a
newer XFree/Xorg on an older distro.
