I would search directly for the driver name, but even if the module
should be loaded, I would search the kernel ring buffer log and the X
log files for error messages.
I wonder why many of my messages don't come through the list.

Run
$ lsmod | grep nvidia
if there's no output, you aren't using the nvidia driver.
Run
$ grep nvidia /var/log/dmesg
and
$ grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
to search for errors.
