NVIDIA's drivers replace XFree86's libGL and GLX module. You need to uninstall NVIDIA's drivers to get OpenGL working with the "nv" driver. Or at least restore XFree86's OpenGL libraries and GLX module. For GLX it's merely a matter of removing NVIDIA's /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.so. XFree86's is the libglx.a and the .so takes preference over the .a. For the OpenGL libraries you need to remove NVIDIA's which are in /usr/lib and reinstate XFree86's which are in /usr/X11/lib (with symlinks from /usr/lib). Mark.
