Thanks for the help Daniel, but what you say hasn't fixed my problem...
I had framebuffer support in the kernel config, but not the nvidia fb
support, I've tried to remove it at all, but still doesn't work... the
other steps you have listed have already been done. In fact if I type
/etc/init.d/xdm restart after boot the driver is loaded correctly and
all works...
