I haven't tried the 2.6 kernel as of yet, so this may not work, but might it be possible to use the fbdev driver/server? Or perhaps a plain VESA driver? AFAIK either of these would allow you to run X until and if nVidia releases a new driver that's compatible. As I suggested, this advice may be NFG as it's purely a stab in the dark. Worth a shot though...
