This seems like a relatively common issue, and the resolution is quite simple. 
Hope it works for you.

docs team, perhaps this can be added to the nvidia doc we have?
Comment 2 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-06-06 04:01:46 UTC 
The NVidia Troubleshooting Guide is *very* outdated.

Comment 3 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-19 03:33:28 UTC 
NVidia TSG is removed from the doc listing (outdated, unmaintained).
Comment 4 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-07-19 14:38:53 UTC 
Perhaps you could also remove the link to it in the hardware 3d acceleration guide, or link to the nvidia section of the desktop guide instead (and fix text appropriately, of course).

Reopening for proper closure.

No need for LATER; this won't be fixed at all.
