Download:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4363/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.
0-4363.run
Then follow the instructions at:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-4363/README.txt

If you follow the instructions, then you will end up with xv working
just fine.
If you miss a step, or mess up, then xv will not be working.

Follow the document VERY carefully.
I did it, and my card is *much* older than yours (Riva TNT2) and xv is
working on it perfectly.

Note that integral to this working is that either 1) You are using a
standard (vanilla or distribution) kernel, or that you have your
currently running kernel's sources in /usr/src/linux.
