Have you tried to use the OS independend XF86 module? If I remember
correctly, the kernel module from NVidia is only to speed up DMA
operations in 3D mode, so the XF86 module should at least be usable. I
didn't know how much of speed you lose, but at least you should be able
to see something. Can you give it a try and report here?
