Hi,
 
     I used this card for a while with no problems?
     
     Have you tried the nv driver or only the binary nvidia?

     Does the card show up when you run lspci?

     Have you tried running startx from a terminal window?

     Is there a "load dri" line in your xorg.conf?  If so, try
     commenting it out.
