Interesting.
Keeping it simple go in to /lib and do 'find | grep nvidia' (it'll spit
out everything), just to make sure it exists. Next step would be dmesg
and /var/log/messages also greping for 'nvidia' to see what, if anything
happened during boot/runtime.
I'm not sure which distro your using, but if it's Fedora try John's
trick above (about two versions being installed), in Ubuntu (and
derivatives) make sure the restricted modules are installed (and if
using envy re-run it's installer).
