You might want to test whether this also occurs on vanilla 2.6, and vanilla 2.4. I don't know much about i875 chipsets, so I'm not sure about needing to use 2.6. By the way, since you used the driver from nvidia.com you overwrote your GL libraries. Whenever you use the nv driver, it may be partially broken due to this. That's the reason we have opengl-update.
