We don't run nvidia.com here :)

Please reproduce this problem on a modern kernel (2.6.24-rc) without any
closed source modules or drivers loaded. Thanks.
Andrew,
The driver from the nvidia.com site was forked because we needed to
create a backport driver package for older kernels. At some point, we
need to converge the two branches again.
Let us know if you still have an issue with the latest kernel as Jeff
mentioned.
Regards,
Ayaz
Jeff
