Boy do I feel stupid. I discovered that in my BIOS, "assign IRQ to VGA" was set to NO. Setting it to YES did the trick. I had done a fresh install, then did the online update including the NVIDIA drivers. Initially, "startx" still wouldn't work, and then I found a note about the BIOS settings in /var/log/messages. Don't know how I missed it before.
