My section indeed is as above:
===========================================================================
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Videocard0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        VendorName  "Videocard vendor"
        BoardName   "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)"
EndSection
===========================================================================

What linux kernel are you using?
What version of gcc are you using?


For me:
linux kernel -- kernel-2.6.7-1.471
gcc -- gcc-3.4.0-7

To build the driver I am doing the following:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-6106-pkg1.run --add-this-kernel

I will read the instructions and try again
