Try using the drivers right from Nvidia- they are very simple to use. Basicly, there are 2 parts- the X drivers and the kernel modules. You need to make sure you have the kernel module running before X can start- to check, try "lsmod" and see if NVDriver is listed. If its not, try "insmod NVDriver" and if the package has been installed correctly, it will load (perhaps with a warning about a license taint- but no errors anyway). You need to install the kernel driver for each kernel you install.
