the driver I downloaded is
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.18-pkg1.run
I used the parameter ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-96.43.18-pkg1.run --no-cc-version-check
because it said something about gcc 4.3 and 4.4
driver installed correctly, etc and I did nvidia-xconfig
which made this xorg.conf

the only real differences I see in the two xorg.confs is
nvidia-xconfig= Driver "nvidia"
X -configure= Driver "nv"
any help appreciated!!
