The nv driver is the default xorg driver. It is open source, but not quite as fast
as the nvidia driver from Nvidia.com. Have you tried the nvidia driver yet?
Download it from Nvidia.com, drop in runlevel 3, then run the installer. Once
installed, there are a couple things to change in the xorg.conf file including
changing "nv" to "nvidia" and disabling some xorg extensions. All are in the README.
