Which card do you have?  The 6629 driver does not work on Riva TNT2
cards, but works fine (for me at least) on a GF4 440MX and GF 5200.
Driver 6111 (patched) works fine for all 3 cards listed above.  And
neither driver requires the kernel source to be present.  You _will_
need to read the Release Notes (search for nvidia and udev) to get
everything working smoothly.

What is the output of: lsmod|grep nvidia ?  You should see something
like:
nvidia               3473436  22

If so, you probably forgot to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to specify the
binary nvidia driver.
