Thanks for your question.

I have "nvidia" in my XFConfig, but to load the module, I seem to have
to put NVdriver in my modules.autoload file. I believe something in the
baselayout changed this for me, as I had not needed to do this before.

cat /etc/modules.d/nvidia 
alias char-major-195 NVdriver

### modules-update: start processing /etc/modules.d/nvidia
alias char-major-195 NVdriver

### modules-update: end processing /etc/modules.d/nvidia
Snipped from modules.conf.

I also get the same glxgears performance as before. All I know is I'm
using the Nvidia official drivers and not the "nv" open source ones. So
I'm cool.

Peace!
