How to make xorg prefer "nvidia" over "nv" driver in a xorg.conf less configuration?

Because it doesn't work! I've tried to create a xorg.conf as simple as this:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "nVidia Corporation G70 [GeForce Go 7600]"
        Driver          "nvidia"
EndSection

and (obviously?) it doesn't work when running within virtualized environment (it
just drop to console). If you know how to create a xorg.conf that works in BOTH
native and virtualized, feel free to tell me how.
