no lsmod doesn't list the nvidia module:
smeagol:/# lsmod

i found the nvidia.o in the following directory:
smeagol:/# find -name "nvidia.o"
./lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.o

if i try to load i i got the following error:
smeagol:/lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/video# insmod nvidia.o

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
     and it has unresolved symbols.  Contact the module supplier for
     assistance, only they can help you.
