You do not say what is going wrong, but here are a few steps you could check
out.
1/ Is your kernel-source the same revision as your kernel?
2/ The update mirrors now have kernel-2.6.3.13mdk and
kernel-source-2.6.3-13mdk You might as well use the latest.
3/ After the driver is installed did you check /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and
ensure that the line Driver "nvidia" is present in the "Devices"
section, and that the line
"Load glx" is not commented out in the "Module" section.
In fact I always set this line to
Load "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so"
so it explicitly points to the nvidia glx driver.
4/ In both your /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf there should be a
line
alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia
5/ Finally in /etc/security/console.perms you should have the line
<dri>=/dev/nvidia* /dev/3dfx*
