Usually, an nVidia splash screen will pop up briefly before X starts. Also, if you have nvidia listed as your driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf they must be working or you wouldn't be able to start X.
Some of the others will likely post some alternate ways to tell.
Enjoy your new drivers.oz

lsmod | grep nvidia
If you get results, then it works
also if you install mesa-utils and run glxinfo | grep direct it should say yes
