Or just "rmmod nvidia", "lsmod" will tell you if it's still there or  
not.

Yes, normally, but I have heard tell of nVidia setups where it still  
loads nVidia even if you do that. The actual X server is an  
executable usually linked to "X" (note the cap) someplace like /usr/ 
X11R6/bin (seems like everybody puts it in a different place.

That should be "nv" not "xv", I'm assuming that was a typo. "xv" is  
something completely different.

My guess is that if commenting out "load glx" does not work then  
loading "nv" instead of nvidia will not work either, but you never know.
