Assuming the the X11 driver is installed (xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-*) and the
nvidia module was compiled against your running kernel
(find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) | grep nvidia.ko), have you added:

Section "ServerFlags"
    Option          "AIGLX"             "on"
EndSection

...and...

Section "Extensions"
    Option          "Composite"         "Enable"
    Option          "RENDER"            "true"
    Option          "DAMAGE"            "true"
EndSection

.. To your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
