(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.

Yes, that was a typo. I append my xorg.conf, so let me apologize to all
digest readers for its length.

I would say that the nv driver should work in this configuration. Check
if the nv module is still present in /usr/lib/xorg/modules:

$ file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped

What are the exact error messages when you switch to the nv driver and
run startx? Also include the output of the following command:

egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
