What does ~/.xsession-errors say?

Don't guess, take a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log. When doing this, first
grep EE, IOW run

Seems to be the answer ;).

Perhaps not the module for the kernel you use.
Shall I have run the installer when running the
rt-kernel? and if so,
why is that, are modules kernel-dependent?
Modules have to fit to the kernel. You should run the NVIDIA *run thingy
manually.
I've got no time to search for you an English howto, sorry, on the quick
I only found a German howto:

You perhaps need to stop by another way, than using /etc/init.d/...,
this depends to the distro you're using.
