I've got a Toshiba Satellite 2410-404 with a GeForce 4 420Go running Debian Woody.
nVidia Driver version 1.0-3123
XFree Version 4.2.1

Compiling and installing the driver works fine, but when I start my Windowmanager there's a black bar approximately 40 pixel wide on the right side of the screen. I can use this area (I can get a window there, for example), but it's not visible.
Everything else works fine... (and there are no warnings or errors refering to this in /var/log/XFree86.0.log)

Hope someone can help...

I found the answer myself:

I had to change the "Mobile" kernel option within the Kernel Module.

Like this: "modprobe NVdriver NVreg_SoftEDIDs=0 NVreg_Mobile=3"
