The source of the problem might be confusion between the "Driver" entry
in the "Device" section and the "Device" entry in the "Screen" section.
(Unless the above excerpt from the config file has a typo and you meant
to write 'Driver "nvidia"'.) Can you post your XF86Config-4 or
xorg.conf? I think it is best if we first try to your "nv" driver
working and then adapt the config file for the "nvidia" one.
