My halfpennyworth: Could it simply be you have not got 3D acceleration? Perhaps try modifying xorg.conf:

Code:

Section "Module"
Load "glx"

Section "Device"
Driver "nvidia"

Section "Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "RenderAccel" "true"    <<<<<<<<make sure this in
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true"
Option "TrippleBuffer" "true"

Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"    <<<<<<<<make sure this in
