Of course, you are not going to get 3D hardware support with nv.
put nvidia, follow all the instructions in the nvidia docs that come
with the driver. there are MANY HELPFUL FAQ questions at the end
of the README that comes with the driver you d/l'd from
nvidia. And of course read the
(sec-03) EDITING YOUR XF86CONFIG FILE
from that section:
==============================================================
If you already have an XF86Config file working with a different driver
(such as the 'nv' or 'vesa' driver), then all you need to do is find
the relevant Device section and replace the line:
Driver "nv"
(or Driver "vesa")
with
Driver "nvidia"
In the Module section, make sure you have:
Load "glx"
You should also remove the following lines:
Load "dri"
Load "GLcore"
==============================================================
section. Look at the FAQ (Appendix of the README) and then if nothing helps, post the
error you are getting, not XF86Config file. Read the questions,
trust me.
You may also need to fix pam, that's another story, but that
likely isn't your problem right now.
