Installed the 2.6.10-5-386 kernel, appropriate restricted modules & 
nvidia-glx. After booting that kernel it worked fine.

Then I found I could install 2.6.10-5-686's restricted modules (kernel was 
already installed, dependency problem perhaps?), so I rebooted with that 
matching kernel and it also worked well. I have now removed the 2.6.10-5-386 
kernel image & matching restricted modules without incident.

Did a bit of 3D graphics testing (scorched3d, screensavers, etc) and it all 
passed with flying colours.

Note that it still doesn't fix my bugzilla logged problem with EDID as done by 
the nvidia driver, locking out the 1440 x 900 laptop screen mode at 60 Hz, 
but I didn't really expect it to either.
