The first command was just to show that with the nv driver X didn't hang,
while the second command, using nvidia driver, caused a segmentation fault.

I suppose this error means I will not have OpenGL under the nv driver, but
there are other drawbacks of using these instead of the nvidia driver, so I
don't care. For instance, with the nv driver I get the desktop at most at
1/4 the maximum available resolution.

Thanks anyway.
