I would say that the nv driver should work in this configuration. Check
if the nv module is still present in /usr/lib/xorg/modules:
$ file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nv_drv.so: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, Intel
80386, version 1 (SYSV), stripped
What are the exact error messages when you switch to the nv driver and
run startx? Also include the output of the following command:
egrep '^\((EE|WW)\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
