All seemed to be ok but when i reboot i had this message :

I have no driver for the console. I must connect via SSH to reconfigure my station. I have a Geforce4MX440.

The 1.0-7667 driver installation will not create a device alias for the
GeForce 4 MX 440. If you did not try to create your own alias, the
GF4 should still be bound to the vgatext driver for console operations.
It smells like you tried to create your own alias. If so, undo any
changes you made to /etc/driver_aliases. The do:

update_drv -a -i '"pci10de,171"' nvidia
reboot -- -r

ls -l /dev/fbs :
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 53 Aug 14 15:39 text-0 -> ../../devices/pci@0,0/pci1106,8305@1/display@0:text-0

i have no nvidia0 link ????
how i can do to have nvidia0 ???

Moreover, pci1106,8305@1 not present in /devices/pci@0,0 what should i do to recover it ?

thanks for your reply.
