I'm not exactly sure how to tell; here's the relevant section of my X 
config file:
Section "Device"
    Identifier  "** NVIDIA (generic)                   [nv]"
    Driver      "nv"
    #VideoRam    65536
    # Insert Clocks lines here if appropriate
EndSection

I experienced no problems when I ran KDE for the whole day yesterday, so 
I naturally presumed this is an XFCE problem. I'm using the Athlon64, 
btw. I read the relevant threads on nvnews related to stability, but 
they seem to presume a familiarity with patching the nVidia drivers.
