Jim is exactly right.
This is probably not such a big deal to change though.
Could you give us the output from
ls -l /etc/X11 /usr/X11R6/bin/X*
so that we can see if you need install the XFree86 (version 4.0.3) server first, or if it's just a question of making the symbolic link point to the correct binary?
-- Glenn
Go to /etc/x11 directory find file called XF86Config , open it with ur favorite editor andfind line that states this:
Section "Screens"
in it change line Modes and Depth to match that of ur monitor.
Alternatively if u wish to do it not manually issue this command in shell as root:
xf86config - it will guide u through series of questions, which will then generate new XF86Config file, based on ur answers
Actually gns it would help because last tiem i had a no screens found error was due upgrade from xfree86 4.0.x to 4.3.0 -
it changed section Screen with value 15 instead of 16 for depht it was supposed to be ...........
+ without upgrading to newer xfree version he can use generic driver such as vesa, svga or generic to run his graphic card !
No comment has been added lately, so it's time to clean up this TA.

That's not working because the drivers you installed are only for XFree86 4.0.1 or later. At the top of the output after running startx you can see that you are using XFree86 3.3.6a.
Both XFree86 4.0.3 and 3.3.6 were furnished with 7.1 and it looks like you installed the older version. Unless you have some application that isn't compatible with 4.x you should install the later version, which is compatible with the Nvidia drivers.
