If you have XFree86 4.0.0, then you'll have to download the older 0.9-4 version.
You should try to use the lastest XFree86 and NVIDIA drivers.

The NVIDIA drivers provide a kernel driver: /lib/modules/kernel.version.number/video/NVdriver

are Nvidia's own hardware accelerated OpenGL implementation.
