An option to installing the nVidia drivers with nVidia's installer
is to get the dell-nvidia and dkms packages from Dell's support
website (search for dell-nvidia and dkms).  The best thing about
this approach is that the driver will be recompiled when the
machine is rebooted with a new kernel.

As a (perhaps irrelevant) data point, I'm running a PowerEdge
400SC with an nVidia Corporation GeForce3 Ti 200 and a DVI
connection to a Dell 2000FP monitor at the full 1600x1200
resolution.  Works great with the nVidia drivers; only the analog
connection works for X with the XFree driver.

I have a GeForce4 card with the same monitor at home in my Debian
system; works great with the Debian-packaged nVidia drivers.
