Running "lsmod | grep nv" as root turns up nothing. Without the grep 
command piped, however, the output consisted mostly of various sound 
modules, except for the following three:
via_velocity           31712  0
crc_ccitt               1728  1 via_velocity
crc32                   3904  1 via_velocity

Any thoughts?
