Try commenting the PCI bus line out of the xorg.conf and see if the

Oh and BTW..... I had already tried that (and have just repeated it
'just in case') ... no effect whatsoever. same error-11 , same warnings.

OK, rename the current xorg file and rerun dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
and select nvidia, leave the PCI BUS empty and restart X.
Done. Same warnings (only this time for PCI 00:1:3 rather than
00:13:0) Same error 11.
Also post the output of lspci -v |grep VGA (should show video
controller) and /var/log/xorg if no luck.
return from root call to lspci.....
brutus:~# lspci -v |grep VGA
00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device
03d1 (rev a2) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
IIRC, this suggests the bus id is 00:0d.0.
Also try installing the pciutils package and running update-pciids as
root. Then rerun the lspci command.
.... which looks very similar to the entry in the longer lspci report.
The log file(s) are attached.....
Xorg.0.log.old is the one from when it fails using 'nvidia'
Xorg.0.log is the most recent after I reset the xorg.conf to use 'nv'
I presume that the fonts having warnings is just that <warnings> as it
appears to find alternatives later.
...as for the rest, I don't know what I am missing, ...perhaps i am too
hooked up on the PCI warning and missing something more obvious.

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:0d:0
(WW) NV: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:1:3) found
Again suggests different PCI Bus ID as above.

Ah! Seems to be a problem with the GLX extension, are you sure the
nvidia-glx package matches the source from which you compiled the module?
I have googled this error (last line of backtrace) and it appears others
are having problems and it does seem to be the nvidia-glx package
causing the problem. Bug#415878 (1) seems similar to your problem and
suggests commenting the Load glx from xorg. Might want to try this and
see if it loads (albeit without glx acceleration) and add to the bug
report if necessary.
