And it is still unloading the nv driver, which I_thought_ was the

"nv" is the old open source xf86-video-nv driver, which nvidia used to
provide updates to, but just enough to get the system up and running
to install their closed source "nvidia" driver. They've stopped that
and now recommend the vesa driver for such bootstrapping instead.
"nouveau" is the current open source driver for nvidia chipsets, if you
have the required nouveau kernel driver available for it.
Yes, but no one (I've not looked all that hard though) has given me a url
where I might be able to pull a fresher Xorg install from. Tarball or
deb, tarball probably better because configure would check and make me
update what it needs.
http://www.x.org/releases/individual/ has all the tarballs you could ever
want, and many you never will.
For .debs, that's better suited for asking someone who uses the same
distro you do.
