I'm seeing tearing from the nv xorg driver. I think it's because the
glx and dri modules are failing to load, and I think that's because
I'm missing a kernel option or two. Can anyone tell me what I might
be missing in the kernel for an Nvidia card?
BTW, the proprietary nvidia driver works great but I'd like to get nv
working too.

A bit off-topic, but nv is dead upstream (NVidia dropped it). You might
want to look into the Nouveau open source driver if you have hardware
supported by it (it even supports 3D):
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org
It's better than the crappy "nv" driver by orders of magnitude.

That's great! I'll ask the Nouveau list about VDPAU support.
