The card won't be listed under Creative, you should drill down to the Nvidia section. The Device section of your XF86Config file should look something like this: Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "nv" VendorName "NVidia" BoardName "GeForce2 GTS" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" EndSection When I ran xf86cfg (rather than xf86config), my GeForce2 card was autodetected.
