Check your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file. 10.0 had a script that would modify the file to use the nv driver if the nvidia driver was not present, so you may be running nv and not even know it.
The reason this was done was that too many people complained that X would not start and they got dumped to a command line if the nvidia driver was not installed properly. Now X will start, but the driver reverts to nv, so a lot of people that had troubloe installing the nvidia driver are running nv and they don't even know the thing didn't get installed properly. -- /g
