Certainly:
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU detected as: GeForce4 MX 440
(--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 65536 kBytes
(II) NVIDIA(1): NVIDIA GPU detected as: GeForce4 MX 420
(--) NVIDIA(1): VideoRAM: 65536 kBytes
The first one is an AGP eVGA GF4 MX440, the second one is a PCI PNY GF4
MX420.

Woody's X doesn't know what a GF4 is, so you can't use the 'nv' driver.
Your choices are either to use the 'vesa' driver, or use the binary drivers
provided by nVidia. I find the nVidia driver to be adequate for what I do.
nvidia-kernel-src
nvidia-glx-src
And *follow the instructions*.
