First, the configuration file has not been updated as described in the nVidia README. You need to change the driver from "nv" to "nvidia" and (if I recall correctly) remove "dri" from the Module section. Assuming that you've run the nVidia installer, you've got the new X modules with the old driver. Second, you're running a 2.6.5 kernel, which does not support CONFIG_4KSTACKS, which means that you're running 8K stacks, which are incompatible with the nVidia drivers. I'd suggest re-installing X to get the old drivers back. Good luck.
