look at /var/log/messages, lines like this are present?

  kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X GPU installed in 
this system is
  kernel: NVRM:  supported through the NVIDIA 96.43.xx Legacy drivers. 
Please
  kernel: NVRM:  visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
  kernel: NVRM:  information.  The 295.20 NVIDIA driver will ignore
  kernel: NVRM:  this GPU.  Continuing probe...
  kernel: NVRM: No NVIDIA graphics adapter found!

I have idea make driver kmod-nvidia96 for such "old" hardware,
but not have many free time right now...

may be people from elrepo project can build kmod-nvidia96
with NVIDIA 96.43.xx Legacy drivers for "old" nVidia hardware?
