You need to install the Official Nvidia drivers, as the version of
XFree86 in Woody does not support the GeForce 4MX.

Mark

also install the kernel-source for the currently running kernel, compile
the Nvidia drivers against this and make sure that:

Load "glx"
Driver "nvidia"

is listed in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file.

i.e.

Section "Module"
	Load "glx"
	other modules to load.....
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Driver  "nvidia"
EndSection
