Haha yeah that's what I was confused about...which did you want. It's not about the nv nor the nvidia driver as such, but xorg's inability to use nv.
I'm in Kubuntu Feisty LiveCD now and I've attached the Xorg.0.log from when it firsts boots and doesn't manage to start X.
What I had to do was edit xorg.conf and change my device from "Intel blah blah" to "FX5500" and change driver from "i810" to "nv" and change the BusID from "PCI:0:2:0" to "PCI:2:7:0" and then change Screen to "FX5500" also and then startx and it worked. Dunno if that helps you?
Sorry if I've done the wrong thing again! Bare with me, this is my first bug report :$
