Here is what I have:

root@dam-main:/home/damon# uname -a
Linux dam-main 2.6.23-1-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 21 12:00:17 UTC 2007 x86_64
GNU/Linux

ii  xserver-xorg                     1:7.3+9
the X.Org X server
ii  xserver-xorg-core                2:1.4.1~git20071212-2
Xorg X server - core server

However, I made nvidia the debian way:

I have no issues that you discribe.  I did notice that you have dri
loading:   Load  "dri"

from the above link:  "Edit your X config file: 

      * In the "Module" section, be sure that you have a line: 
        Load "glx" 
         
        and remove or comment out (prepend with a #) any lines that
        refer to the "dri" or "GLCore" modules. "

I conclude that this is perhaps due to the DRI being loaded and/or
running the latest binary from Nvidia.  However I never had an issue
running the latest sid xorg with the latest debian nvidia glx.
