Shouldnt be, It seems to be put there on all dapper installs. try comenting it 
out by putting a # in front on the line, it shouldnt affect anything on most 
platforms. If you want to put it back in just remove the # :)

One thing I would suggest you check is that you have enabled the nvidia 
version of glx. The nvidia module works ok with the standard X glx driver, 
but you lose many features an performance, which seems to what you are 
experiencing.

To check this look for a file in you home directory called .xsession_errors. 
You can run grep on this to find any references to GLX with the following 
command;
	grep -i glx .xsession_errors

This should offer you some clues. 
To make sure that nvidia-glx is installed run;
	sudo apt-get nvidia-glx
To enable the driver, run 
	sudo nvidia-glx-config enable

Hope this helps
