I have a GeForce4 MX 440 with RH7.1, XFree86 4.1.0 on one of my systems.
It works fine with the previous nVidia drivers. (They updated their
drivers a few weeks ago, but I haven't tried the new version yet.)

Hi,
Use the NVIDIA drivers from the NVIDIA website, just download the rpm
files and follow the instructions. My experience is based on problems with
the GeForce 4, I found RH7.3 weak on support for NVIDIA hardware.

Subject: [Newbie]NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX - problem
Hi,
I am a newbie for sure.� I installed RedHat Linux 7.3 on a new AMD ASUS MB
running NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX video card.� The install detects and runs in
GUI mode just fine however when I try to configure XFree86-4.2.0-8 it
freezes my system with a blank screen. I have tried several combinations.
RH web site says that some NVIDIA GeForce 4 chipset (see below) are not
supported by "nv".
I am not sure if MX is supported or not. My monitor can display up to
1280x768 H 63.9 kHz �and V 60 HZ. I only want 800x600 w/color. The BOIS
says 32 MB for Video and the first probe finds the video card but the
Xconfig list does not contain NVIDIA.
There is a driver update from XFree86 for the nv driver. It is not clear
but they might now support the "NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX"
http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.1/nv.4.html
Any advice on how to configure XFree and/or download the new driver is
appreciated. Do I need to get driver from RedHat or can I somehow use the
xfree4.2.1 ?
Thanks, Michael
Release notes for RedHat 7.3
NOTE: The nVidia GeForce 4 chipset is not supported by the "nv" driver in
XFree86 4.2.0. The XFree86 "vesa" driver, which uses a video card's VESA
BIOS to initialize video modes,may work as a temporary workaround until
official support is available in a future release.
