In an attempt to fix the aforementioned problem, and despite
the helpful suggestions, I decided to just upgrade to woody
to get X 4.1.0.  Well, this fixed a lot of the problem. I am 
now able to get X up with the nv drivers for my geforce 2 mx 
card.  

Problem now is that I can get comile/install the nvidia drivers.
I was wondering if any of you have had expereince with these
particular drivers.  Here is the error message I get when I 
'make install', as per nvidia instructions.

loki:~/src/NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1251# make install
rm -f nv.o os-interface.o os-registry.o Module-linux NVdriver
cc -c -Wall -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-multichar -O  -D__KERNEL__

nv.c:50: linux/modversions.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [nv.o] Error 1

Any ideas?
