(Agree: logs from the x server make guessing possible problems easier as
would copies of your XF86Config file(s))

To get mine working with X v4.x, I was bad and went with the nvidia
drivers/modules to be loaded with X so that I could get wolfenstein to
play. I think it was the TNT2 32, but cant be sure right now.)

The files I found were:
NVIDIA_GLX-1.0-1541.tar.gz
NVIDIA_kernel-1.0-1541.tar.gz

If I recall, non accellerated 2d support worked fine without these, I just
needed them for the 3d accellerated stuff and GLX support for wolf.
