Make sure your using the correct driver (no matter if you used nvidia
installer).
In your: /etc/X11/xorg.conf you should have:

In section Module you must have: Load "glx"

Section "Module"
  Load ´other modules´
  Load         "glx"
  Load ´other modules´
EndSection

In your section Device you must have the 3D accel driver: "nvidia" (NOT:
"nv"!!!)

Section "Device"
  BoardName    "GeForce4 MX 420"
  BusID        "1:0:0"
  Driver       "nvidia"
  Identifier   "Device[0]"
  VendorName   "NVidia"
EndSection

About the possibilities to change your resolution. Do you have the
preffered
resolution in the section Screen??? I for myself run 1600x1200@78Hz
