In /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

comment or remove "Load dri" from the modules section

add -   ModulePath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/nvidia"
        ModulePath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions"
        ModulePath   "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules"
to the files section

change the driver from "nv" to "nvidia" in the Device section

In /etc/modprobe.conf add"

# nvidia kernel module
  alias char-major-195 nvidia-1_0-6111

That ought to do it.
