Suggestion, not full solution.
It looks like you did not configure the X system during the install. XFree86
should be using the config file XF86Config-4 not XF86Config.test.
You probably do not have /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 written yet.
If this is the case, become root and try running XFree86 -configure.
This should set up XFree86. Try it and check that it is now using the new
config file. If it is and you still have problems edit the XF86Config-4 file.
Find the section that looks like this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "device1"
VendorName "NVidia"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce4 (generic)"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Make the Driver "nv" if you have not downloaded and installed the Nvidia
drivers from their web site.
Good luck.
