cd /lib/modules/2.4.20-xfs_pre6/video
ln -s . ../kernel/drivers/video
(nVidia 4191 installs in the wrong place)

/etc/modules.d/nvidia contains:
# Nvidia drivers support
alias char-major-195 nvidia
# To tweak the driver the following options can be used, note that
# you should be careful, as it could cause instability!!
#
#   To enable Side Band Adressing:  NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1
#
#   To enable Fast Writes: NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
#
# To enable both for instance, uncomment following line:
#
#options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1 \
#     NVreg_EnableVia4x=1
options nvidia NVreg_EnableVia4x=1

Then update-modules and try again.
