Nvidia driver problem after Gutsy => Hardy upgrade

Hi,

I've got a nvidia 6600 series graphics card, which has always needed 
some fiddling to get to work with the nvidia binary drivers. This time 
round however, I don't seem to be able to get it to work at all.

The xorg.conf below works fine with nv, but when I replace 'nv' with 
'nvidia', it won't work. I've tried both the nvidia-glx and 
nvidia-glx-new drivers. The hardware driver screen suggests the latter.
