please use more useful thread titles, this is nothing to do with slackware even, just happens to be the distro you are using... how about "Can't load XFree86 with NVidia card"?

what error message do you get?
what have you already tried?

And you've tried to configure X by running xf86config ? Slackware doesn't configure X during the installation if you haven't tried configuring X as of yet.
