Remember when you first installed Linux, and you had to go into your 
Xorg.conf file and change that line that read "nv" to "nvidia", or you 
had to go to the nvidia website and download the linux driver?

That driver is "nv", and is (was?) the "Open Source" NVidia driver. All 
it did was provide an accelerated framebuffer. Now, however, the "vesa" 
driver is mature enough (and supported enough) that they have no need 
for "nv" anymore.
