Have you tried Maxime Henrion's nvidia patches?

http://mu.org/~mux/patches/nvidia.patch

The original code from nvidia will no longer run on -CURRENT
without them.

I got tired of updating the driver so I just went back to
using the nv module from XFree which works just fine for my
non-accelerated purposes.  I did have to remove every trace
of the nvidia code with its headers and libraries and then
recompile XFree before I could get the nv module to work,
however.
