Nvidia and X incompatibilites - driver uninstall problem



Hello all.

I am not sure that this is the correct list to post, but I think that
maybe somebody can help me.

This is the problem: I have a nvidia fx5200 on an Athlon 2400XP+,
running a custom kernel 2.6.12.1. I have installed first the nvidia
driver using the nvidia installer. But I didn't work well (glx not
working), so i used the module-assistant to install all the nvidia
drivers. The problem is that now the X does not came up without using
the nvidia installer everytime the system boots. If i remove the
nvidia installer and use only the module-assistant, the glx module is
installed but cannot be used. So i wanted to remove ALL the nvidia
drivers installed to start from the beginning. I think that i prefer
to use the nvidia installer because it is more up to date. I am using
Xorg, and using etch, but i had the exactly same problem when using
Xfree and sarge.
Here is an output of my dpkg -l |grep nvidia:
