When I switched from a geforce 2mx to a geforce 4 ti, I had the same
problem.
There are two options. Upgrade to XFree 4.2 which is now in unstable
or you can use the drivers Nvidia provides instead of the driver
that is part of XFree.
If you want to play games, you'll want the Nvidia drivers. Otherwise
it doesn't really matter on a technical level (both work).
Getting the Nvidia drivers is perhaps a bit easier and is less
risky (unless you already track unstable ofcourse).
Let me know if you need more help on this.
