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 and everything seems to be fine now. No freezes when playing tux racer or using Firefox on Youtube it seems to be pretty stable now.

HTH,
John
