lspci provides the following output for the device:
00:0f.0 VGA compatible controller: VMware SVGA II Adapter
I've checked whether hardware acceleration is active by running
glxgears, which runs quite happily, so I'm assuming that hardware
acceleration, as set by the vm configuration, is actually active, hence
the nvidia driver is functioning, so I thought Xorg would be able to
work with the nvidia driver quite happily.
It's not an Nvidia driver in the VM. It's a "VMware SVGA II" driver.
