Mmmm, should work. Just used it yesterday.
m-a prepare nvidia
m-a build -t nvidia (so you can see the screen output.)
m-a install nvidia
There was one issue but I think I was mislead:
xdriinfo reckoned the libGL was to old. And cause I was only sometimes
seeing the nvidia splash screen I thought there was a problem.
I don't know if an ln -s libGL.so to the nvidia libGL did anything or
not, but I installed mesa-utils and glxgears[1] was showing about 1800 fps
but xdriinfo still reckoned the libGL was to old. glxinfo showed dri
was on and using nvidia; not mesa.
Stellarium worked a treat.
[1] Not a good benchmark though.
