What version of XFree are you running? I had a similar problem under
4.0.something with a GeForce 2 MX 400, but it went away after upgrading
to 4.2. If you haven't done that yet, I'd try that. Also, as a shot in
the dark, which driver are you using, nv or nvidia, try switching it and
see what happens.
