Hi. I'm haveing a similar problem using the XFX nVidia GeForce MX 4000 128MB. I thought it was a card/driver problem because only vesa drivers work not even the nv drivers. I have installed the latest drivers from nVidia and I'm using the 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 kernel in that box. Found out it wsn't a video card problem but my monitors settings in /etc/X1/xorg.conf. The Xorg.0.log gives me a WW about my monitor not be divisible by 8??? but no errors with the video card. Its an old Packard Bell monitor and just can't find the drivers for it. But I get 2d performance (waste of a great card) with the vesa drivers. To use the vesa drivers. in runlevel 3 type joe /etc/X11/xorg.conf change the driver under VideoCard0 to "vesa" press ^+K+X to save and exit and reboot. Also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see what warnings errors you get might help you locate the problem.
