I'm seeing tearing from the nv xorg driver. I think it's because the

BTW, the proprietary nvidia driver works great but I'd like to get nv
working too.
A bit off-topic, but nv is dead upstream (NVidia dropped it). You might
want to look into the Nouveau open source driver if you have hardware
supported by it (it even supports 3D):

It's better than the crappy "nv" driver by orders of magnitude.
