This card wasn't supported by the "nv" driver that came with
XFree86 until the most recent version - XFree86 4.3. Upgrading to
4.3 will add support for that card. Alternatively, you can install
NVIDIA's binary Linux drivers with earlier versions of XFree86
(back as far as 4.0.1).
Whatever error messages the server is currently giving you
should be found in the /var/log/XFree86.0.log file. If you
ARE running XFree86 4.3 and you are still getting errors, we'll
need to see that file.
