Hmmm the glxinfo command performed the reset too but I think we are 
getting somewhere. Looking deeper I found the following:

$ grep '(EE)'  Xorg.0.log
       (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(EE) Failed to load module "wfb" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the GLX module; please check in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     log file that the GLX module has been loaded in your X
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     server, and that the module is the NVIDIA GLX 
module.  If
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     you continue to encounter problems, Please try
(EE) NVIDIA(0):     reinstalling the NVIDIA driver.
(EE) AIGLX: DRI module not loaded

The Card:
(II) NVIDIA(0): NVIDIA GPU GeForce 6600 at PCI:1:0:0 (GPU-0)

The driver:
$ ls -l /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1392720 2007-06-01 23:42 
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.so

From xorg.conf:
