Willy, I had a ton of problems with the nv driver, as it only does 2D.
No openGL unless you use software to supply libGL. Then it's slow and
buggy as all get out. Just maybe an upgrade snuck it back on your
system?? Could happen, it wouldn't be the first time either.

First, it you have the nVidia X server settings on your "settings -
xVidia X server settings" click on it and poke at "X Screen 0" then
"Open GL/GLX information" where you should see GLX Information" followed
by "Direct Rendering - Yes" and "GLX Extensions: " with a scroll of
options on and working. If you're not seeing what I'm seeing here, then
something is indeed broken. 

I would be willing to bet that your system is running xv instead of the
real deal. That happen to me running Fedora and I about tore my hair out
reconfiguring xorg.conf before I caught on to the swap out. I think Gene
ran into the problem about the same time. I am running kernel
2.6.24-16-generic.
nVidia driver #173.14.12
