My big problems now are:
a) nvidia binary driver doesn't build on .26 (which I need for other
    reasons),

  Sorry to hear that.  I've been using the beta 177.13 driver for
quite a while now.  I built a custom 2.6.26 kernel for my desktop
on Saturday, and nvidia 177.13 runs on it very nicely.  In fact,
when I moved to 177.13 from the stable series, everything seemed to
move noticeably faster... I was very impressed and satisfied with
the results!

Good to know. It's 173.14.05 (the latest stable) that doesn't build with .26.

Where is the beta?  Stable is at:
ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86

Scientists are people, too.  IOW, they also "crave power, money,
respect, and influence, and they also fear for their jobs. Each
can be a healthy motivator, but each has the ability to turn a
good scientist into a bad one; and in some cases, they can turn
a good scientist into a charlatan."
