Well, there are couple of other things you need to do as well. You need to
remove references to the DRI the GLcore stuff and add in the GLX reference. All
of ths info is in the readm/installation docs for the nvidia drivers. I use a 
Geforce2 MX card and this driver works well for me. The docs say it works fine
for the GeForce 3 card as well but as alawyas, your mileage may vary.
