I installed X4.0.2 and the nVidia drivers 0.9-5. Just take your time and follow the steps in the docs that came with those packages and things should work. If you have an Asus P5A (what I have) or anything with an ALi chipset, there are a few extra steps, but they work nicely.
As of version 0.9-4, they have support for the GeForce MX chip. I didn't get the errors you got. I'd suspect you have some missing libraries with your compiler. The folks in #nvidia on irc.openprojects.net are a big help, BTW. -Rob > On 20010103.2252, Jonathan Markevich said ... > > Well, the price was right and I grabbed a GeForce2 MX card... now I have no > X.
