I eventually got one working with the nvidia > driver, but was frustrated w/ nv. No problem. My nv xorg.conf is pretty much equivalent to my nvidia conf, in fact I often put both (as well as vesa) in the same file, and toggle the Driver lines inside the Device section. My only complaint with the nv driver was the speed compared to what nvidia provides, particularly with OpenGL apps. But I'll often toggle between nv and nvidia if I'm having random hangs of X.org. Below is a shortened version of my "nv" xorg.conf. -- Rick C.
