zimgao,

Thanks!  You were correct, the nvidia driver was not getting loaded due
to its name.  I am compiling a custom kernel using the nvidia-new-
kernel-source package along with the linux-source-2.6.20 package.  It
appears as you suggest that nvidia-glx-new causes the modprobe to look
for nvidia_new.ko as the module.  By changing the name of my compiled
kernel module in

/lib/modules/2.6.20.3-ubuntu1.070416/nvidia/nvidia.ko
to
/lib/modules/2.6.20.3-ubuntu1.070416/nvidia/nvidia_new.ko

I am able to start X properly.  I guess this should be a separate bug on
the nvidia-new-kernel-source package.  I will look for one when I get a
chance and if it doesn't exist create one.
