What are the error messages that you are getting??
I'm running a GF FX5900 Ultra without a problem. I'm not near my system at the
moment, but the card section extract listed below, is very similar to what I
use on the GFFX.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "MSI"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 MX 440"
Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "DFP, TV"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
Option "RenderAccel" "1"
Option "DigitalVibrance" "64"
Option "CursorShadow" "1"
EndSection
Make sure that in the Module section the the 'Load DRI' is removed. And remove
the DRI stuff at the end of the file as well.
Also does your notebook use the Nvidia chipset?? If so, you will also need
that driver from the Nvidia site as well.
You can also checkout the Nvidia Linux Forum:

Which should be able to help you as well.
