Xwindow problems ASUS A7N266-VM board (nForce)

[Cam Ellison <cam@ellisonet.ca>]

I just installed this board, and downloaded the driver and the GLX
package from the nvidia website.  They match -- I used the rpm
packages, and converted them with alien.  I have also downloaded the
tar'd packages and tried those, not to mention a couple of
re-compilings of my 2.4.18 kernel.  The board uses the nVidia 220D
GeForce chipset for the north bridge & AGP, and the nForce chipset for
the south bridge.  Naturally, there is no reference to either in the
kernel.

Attempts to start X fail:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVdriver kernel module!

Modprobe gets a list of "unresolved symbols" messages, including the
NVdriver module (I'll save the others for another message).

Questions:

Does anyone else have this board, or a similar one?
What settings did you use when configuring the kernel?  (I have
/dev/agpgart selected as a module, and AMD Irongate and DRM
support selected, but nothing else)
Which kernel and GLX packages did you use?
What am I missing (probably something obvious)?

TIA
