you may need more than that to modprobe with, like nvidia-something. 
here is a snippet from my lsmod

video-buf              17860   0 (autoclean) [bttv]
v4l2-common             5056   0 (autoclean) [bttv]
videodev                8960   2 (autoclean) [bttv]
i2c-algo-bit            8712   0 (autoclean) [bttv]
i2c-core               20868   0 (autoclean) [tuner tvaudio bttv 
i2c-algo-bit]
soundcore               6500   6 (autoclean) [snd bttv]
btcx-risc               3604   0 (autoclean) [bttv]
nvidia-1.0-4363      1668296   4 (autoclean)
