I'm using Xorg with NVIDIA and I'm having no trouble at all.  Not to
say it was easy.

What's your Card config?

I doubt mine will apply directly to your setup, since I'm using a dual
head setup, but the card itself is configured as follows:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "NV AGP TwinView"
        VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
        Driver "nvidia"
        # update this with the PCI id of your card.  Consult the output
        # of the 'lspci' command. The  BusID is usually optional when
        # only using one graphics card.
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
        BoardName   "NV34 [GeForce FX 5200]"

        # sample twinview setup
        Option "TwinView"
        Option "SecondMonitorHorizSync" "31-80"
        Option "SecondMonitorVertRefresh"       "56-75"
        Option "TwinViewOrientation"    "RightOf"
        Option "MetaModes"      "1280x1024,1280x1024; 1024x768,1024x768"
        Option "ConnectedMonitor"       "crt,crt"
EndSection

It should be fairly easy to figure out which options are related to
the dual setup (all of the "Option" entries, actually).  Notice I
don't have any memory info defined.  The driver will detect that
automagically:

(--) NVIDIA(0): VideoRAM: 131072 kBytes

This is from /var/log/Xorg.0.log, and it indicates the available
memory was probed.

HTH & Good luck
Lou
