I even made sure the old modules were completely wiped before I installed a clean set of modules from mercurial. In short...

Even under the recovery kernel, attempting to start or load X in any way (kdm, gdm, or startx) results in a complete and utter crash/freeze. You cannot get out of it without a system reset. You can't even get into an alternate tty to kill the process. It just locks. I guess my question at this point is twofold: 1) is this, as Steve suggested earlier, a problem with core videobuf? Or is it the nVidia driver? The hang point seems to be when nVidia gets invoked and X Starts. kdm/gdm do not even seem to get a chance to load. 2) What, if anything can I do to get it to work, or help you guys figure out where the problem is? I am open to being a guinea pig in any way I can to help get this solved. =) The compile runs fine. The modules install fine. Something else is amiss.
