    Maybe seeing what Nvidia installed for me (successfully) will help:

/etc/modules.conf:
    alias char-major-195 nvidia
    options nvidia NVreg_EnableAGPSBA=1 NVreg_EnableAGPFW=1
NVreg_ReqAGPRate=7


    My equipment here is a modest nvidia GeForce 4 MX.  I just used the
base installer, and the default installer right off the Nvidia
website...not the beta-test RPM.

    If you need more, let me know...it's not a perfect install, but
Nvidia really works well once it's installed.  The biggest problem seems
to be in merely following the rules, and not thinking too hard.

    :)
