Mmmm, should work. Just used it yesterday. m-a prepare nvidia m-a build -t nvidia (so you can see the screen output.) m-a install nvidia There was one issue but I think I was mislead: xdriinfo reckoned the libGL was to old. And cause I was only sometimes seeing the nvidia splash screen I thought there was a problem. I don't know if an ln -s libGL.so to the nvidia libGL did anything or not, but I installed mesa-utils and glxgears[1] was showing about 1800 fps but xdriinfo still reckoned the libGL was to old. glxinfo showed dri was on and using nvidia; not mesa. Stellarium worked a treat.
