I was not aware of a legacy driver newer than 1.0.7184.  Anyhow; I did
google for version 1.0.9631, found it and it installed clean and easy.
 Knowing this could have saved me many hours of grief last night.
Thanks for the tip.  I wonder why nVidia's driver download page only
lists version 7184?

Zander(from Nvidia) explains:
"1.0-7184 and 1.0-9631 support different sets of legacy GPUs; unfortunately, the download pages
and some of the relevant documentation do not reflect this very well at this point.
Work is being done to improve the NVIDIA download pages
and documentation to help identify the correct driver for a given legacy GPU."

Until that happens, check stickies at Nvidia Linux forum (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=14)

  

Now I'm off to find out why Crux 2.3 does not include xdm for starting
X.  Not sure if this is a Crux 2.3 issue or a new xorg issue?

    

Xdm is part of Xorg7.2[1], why it isn't in xorg repo , I don't know.Perhaps 
most people use either display managers from their DE, or startx?  

There is an(unofficial) port for xdm [2], use that if you want.  

[1](http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/X11R7.2/src/app/xdm-X11R7.2-1.1.3.tar.bz2)

HTH.
