Nothing special, as far as I know.

I do have two boxes with Nvidia cards (Quadro NVS 160m for Gentoo and
Quadro K620 for Ubuntu LTS) running Nouveau and Nvidia proprietary
drivers.

I can not confirm any issues with GRASS graphical stack. It seems that
your system is semi-broken. I would start with video drivers and then
work all way up (recompile, check and test various parameters). Have
you been trying to run bare bones X11 with some light WM (twm)?

Have fun with broken drivers ;)
