Sorry, I read  wrong. You crashed during compilation ! You must install and 
compile nvidia-kernel, after this install the package nvidia-glx.

Then, in xorg.conf change the driver from "nv" to "nvidia". If X failes to 
start, you can comment the entry > Load "glx" < out, so glx will not be used, 
only the kernel-module (just for testing purposes). 

Make sure, you have the latest Kernel-headers, Xorg version and nvidia-* 
installed.

Good luck !
