I don't think you've installed the correct driver.. I wouldn't use the website you linked.
You can install the driver using slackbuilds (both driver and kernel)
or simply run the NVIDIA installer from their website

I'm regularly using SBo's NVidia drivers, since most of my machines have NVidia graphic cards. You need to install the 'nvidia-driver' as well as the 'nvidia-kernel' package and then run the following command:

Code:

# nvidia-xconfig

This will spew out a usable /etc/X11/xorg.conf.

Caveat: this driver conflicts with the nouveau driver. What I usually do is either blacklist it and/or add the 'nomodeset' boot option to lilo.conf.

Hint: installing these drivers with 'sbopkg' is almost as easy as clicking on Jockey in Ubuntu
