You are using framebuffer with the commercial nVidia driver? I didn't think you could do that.
I run kernel 2.6.1 and the 4620 version of the commercial driver. The only problem so far is a lot of messages in the logs like this:

I hope nVidia releases real 2.6 drivers soon.
I have tried to get by with the nv driver, but the performance hit is just too much, and I still use 3D apps now and then.
