I'm afraid I can't provide any help on this, but wanted to mention that I experience exactly the same behaviour with my GeForce Go 6800 (TurboCache). And this is not only for the current driver, but has been the case ever since i own this notebook (it's an Acer Travelmate 4150LMi). The nvidia driver version at the time I got it was 1.0-7184, and was already broken back then. I would really love to see a solution for this, since not being able to leave X is pretty annoying. I should mention that on this system I have Debian installed, and used kernel.orgs vanilla kernel + nvidia driver from their homepage ever since.
