 I tried to install these nvidia modules on top of kernel 2069. For me it
did the opposite from what I expected. Instead of a 3D acceleration all GLX
capability was removed from the screen.

I use a Asus V9520/TD graphic card (GforceX, Nvidia chip set) which worked
correct with the the livna nvidia modules for all kernels of FC4.
