Spencer,
Note that I removed the solves from you Subject line. Typically, you
will only want to include that in the subject line when you've found a
solution.
Here's a quick checklist hopefully you only missed something easy.
Did you install both Nvidia drivers?
Run /usr/bin/X11/bin/xf86config?
edit /etc/X11/XF86Config ... change 'nv' driver to nvidia?
same ....................... uncomment the glx module?
