OK. I have been working on this for a few hours and I'm starting to think that it may be something so obvious I don't even see it anymore.

Please help save my sanity.

7900gs on AGP - recently upgraded from 8.04 to 8.10, which broke the nvidia driver somehow

Just compiled 180.29 drivers to no avail
