But when I startx, X can't find the nvidia module:

Any suggestions as to what to do next?
You probably need xserver-xorg-video-nvidia (as in addition to the
NVIDIA kernel driver, you need the NVIDIA Xorg driver). But when I
was using the NVIDIA drivers in the past, I installed nvidia-glx,
which depends on xserver-xorg-video-nvidia and other useful packages.
Thanks Vincent, let me try that. I usually use the closed source NVidia
driver from upstream, this is the first time that I have tried building
the driver myself.
That was it. I installed nvidia-glx and that pulled in
xserver-xorg-video-nvidia and now X comes up. Thanks again.
