Are you sure you removed all the nvidia stuff when trying with the free
nv driver? I never tried nvidia-glx myself, but there might be some
nvidia specific libs that divert the regular Xorg libs. I don't know if
they could cause problems when still installed while using the free nv
driver.
Anyway, I still can't reproduce it here, on both ati and intel free
drivers, so the problem still looks kind of driver-specific to me. The
nvidia binary driver had a couple known minor incompatibilities with
Xserver 1.3...

It is now working for me, with the following packages installed:
[UPGRADE] nvidia-glx 100.14.11-1 -> 100.14.19-1
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg 1:7.2-5 -> 1:7.3+1
[UPGRADE] xserver-xorg-core 2:1.3.0.0.dfsg-12 -> 2:1.4-1
I installed the drivers on 2.6.22-2 from the following package:
[UPGRADE] nvidia-kernel-source 100.14.11-1 -> 100.14.19-1
Cheers!
