You need to run xf86cfg. To learn about it you can "man xf86cfg. It will 
create a
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XF86Config

There are samples such as XF86Config.98 and XF86Config.eg. You have to know 
which model GeForce you are using and it will then create entries such as

        Driver      "nv"
        VendorName  "NVidia"
        BoardName   "GeForce4 MX DDR"
        ChipSet     "GeForce4 MX 440"
