Interestingly, When the XF86Config contains "nvidia" attempting to
start X produces NO log output. The machine just locks up hard. The
"nvidia" module can be successfully loaded prior to starting X but
still, the damned thing locks solid. This has got to be a kernel
issue. I looked for the obvious by diff'ing the old and new .configs
and removed AGP and DRM and rebuilt it but I'm still in the same
spot. Next I'll rebuild with the old config if I can.
In the mean time, I'm using the "nv" module which logs with no errors
and only one warning about APM.
