   Copying the module should probably be fine.

   Do you get a full /var/log/XFree86.0.log if you do

   "XFree86 -probeonly"

  I put an nv_drv.o compiled from CVS on my web page at:

http://www.xfree86.org/~mvojkovi/nv_drv.o

  Since it's newer than your server, you may need to add -ignoreABI to your
server command line.  (ie. "startx -- -ignoreABI").

  Are you running some kernel framebuffer device like rivafb?  It's
possible that rivafb is not compatible with the "nv" driver on nForce.
I never use something like rivafb.
