You said you've used the 7174 version, afaik the recent version is 7667.
If you don't mind you could use it and see the result.
Make sure changing X conf file following the doc, make sure you have
nvidia in your /etc/modules, and have this line on
/etc/udev/permissions.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="nvidia",    GROUP="video", MODE="0666"

of course uninstall the previous version first, nvidia-installer --uninstall

--w.h--
