Hi :)
on Linux audio users lists several issues with Nvidia graphics are
known. At least older Nvidia cards do not work proper with the nouveau
driver.
Did you test the proprietary driver?
Some days ago I switched to Xfce, but kept GNOME 3 installed. I also
kept the nv driver from stable, but currently I'm running a full preempt
2.6.39.1 with treadirqs and the proprietary driver 173.14.30.
I already build 3.0.7-rt20 patched to run with the proprietary driver
around a week ago, but still had no time to go on installing it. AFAIK
the proprietary driver should work as long as you don't use the rt-patch
without tweaks.
You should post Nvidia and X related log messages.
