I believe the hardware I listed is part of the problem with the latest drivers.
I removed all of the "nvidia-glx-new" drivers from my system and all kernel sources and or modules relating to the "new" drivers.

What I have installed for nvidia drivers via synaptic
"linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22.4-14.9"
"nvidia-kernel-2.6.22-14-generic"
"nvidialinux-restricted-modules-2.6.22.4-14.9"
"nvidia-kernel-common"
"nvidia-kernel-source"
not sure if I need all of the above but 3D acceleration is working with compiz set to extra effects.

I completely removed the restricted driver manager pkgs. via synaptic
"restricted-manager"
"restricted-manager-core"

Then I installed version 100.14.09 from the nvidia driver archive from console and everything seems to be fine.

I hope this helps in finding a resolution to this problem.
