A misunderstanding. I tried to use the nv driver, not the proprietary nvidia driver. On startup I run a script, it's switching between nv for kernel-rt and nvidia for the default kernel. The kernel-rt worked with the nv driver, but it doesn't work now. I can't use nouveau for my setup.

yes and no. xf86-video-nv-* were last updated on 30-Jul-2010. Don't expect that stuff to work any more on current kernels and please use a driver that is in development.
3.0 is an old kernel-rt and in February the X + the nv driver were ok. I still have got backups.
debian doesn't package it any more, the gentoo wiki also mentions it as outdated and bugs.freedesktop.org comments like this to their WONTFIXed bugs:
"Nobody is supporting xf86-video-nv and it will be going away at some point in the future. If your problem persists with nouveau or the proprietary driver provided by nVidia, please re-file accordingly. We apologize for the inconvenience.
This is part of an automated bulk action; if you believe that this bug was closed in error, then change the targeted component and reopen it."
you're on your own. good luck!
But I'm not alone, since nouveau doesn't work for many Linux users. Regards, Ralf
