Not using the nvidia provided libraries loads up X11 at least; however, trying to use the vanilla X11 libraries with my system also causes issues after 10~30 minutes of use with my 8800GTS and dual-head / Xinerama enabled. Something's livelocking the kernel somewhere, so even if I do CTRL-ALT-Backspace, and provide further input my console doesn't respond, and I'm forced to warm boot my system. Thus I've reverted to the nv / nouveau drivers for the time being. Thanks, -Garrett
