I am going to guess that the GeForce 6600 & nVidia driver is the issue.  My 
son's machine had a GeForce 6200 LE and it gave me some problems at first.  I 
couldn't get Tux Racer or Extreme Tux to play in full screen.  The monitor would 
go blank and the only way to get it back was to restart kdm.  I installed the 
177, 173 & 169 drivers and it did not work until I got to the 96 drivers.  I had 
the 173 working fine in Hardy but not in Intrepid, I think it is a KDE 4 thing. 
  Try going down the line and see if that solves the problem using the 
nvidia-glx-### packages.  I couldn't tell the difference between the drivers, 
except for the full screen thing.
