I never had a problem with my TNT but I'll make a guess.
do you have the nvidia devices in the /dev/ directory??
on my system I get
$ ls /dev/nvidia*
nvidia0 nvidia2 nvidia4 nvidia6 nvidiactl
nvidia1 nvidia3 nvidia5 nvidia7
and this may be an AGP problem, when you do lsmod do you have agpgart
loaded??
the NVIDIA driver can either use the kernel agp driver, or its own agp
routines, usually it is set on auto and the driver somehow makes the
choice you might want to try and control this yourself by putting the
line
Option "NvAGP" "n"
in your device section of the XFConfig-4 file
where n is 1,2 or 3 which stands for linux driver, nvidia driver,
auto (I may be wrong about the order though).
cheers,
Alaa
