1.- look for /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
    in Section "device" must say:
        Driver "nvidia"
    Section "Module":
        erase "dri" and "GLcore"

2.- run "lsmod" (to see loaded modules), look for "nvidia"
     if not, add "nvidia" to /etc/modules
     when loaded, must exist /dev/nvidiactl and /dev/nvidia[0-3]

3.- be sure that agpgart and nvidia_agp ar NOT loaded (can cause hangs)

OT: i got a Gforce2-mx and the latest drivers from nvidia and the driver in 
linux-restricted-modules simply hang my machine, now i'm using version 5328, 
anybody know's something about?
