2.4.14 + nvidia kernel/glx 1541 works perfectly here, altho i WILL mention
this.
When i went from 2.4.12 to .14, I had to totally trash the nvidia drivers and
dir's, it just wouldn't compile otherwise (package error maybe?), but once I
got around that, up it came. Then, in a fit of madness, I decided not to
assign an IRQ for VGA in bios, that killed the drivers instantly, unresolved
symbols. Once I switched that on, it worked perfectly, and has done since,
including Twinview with SVIDEO out.
Which 2.4.14 is it that you are using? The source direct from kernel.org? or
the Debian package? (I'm using direct from kernel.org)
