I'm using the "nv" driver. I've recompiled everything slaved to the x11/xorg port, with no better results. Oddly enough, my desktop which also runs the same snapshot (and same arch) with the "nv" driver works fine. Currently, it looks like some userland change has tripped the driver behaviour; as running a newer kernel on an older userland is still okay.
