Are the other affected users also running GeForce 6200 or similar boards?

As an experiment, try reverting the security patch here: ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/patches/security/CVE-2012-0946/

You should be able to do this without reinstalling the whole driver by manually reverting the patch in /usr/src/nvidia-current-295.40 and then rebuilding just the kernel module using DKMS. (May want to have X stopped / module unloaded while doing this.)

GeForce 6xxx series isn't susceptible to the vulnerability.
