Well it looks like the kernel module doesn't have everything the X
driver wants.  Is the kernel module the same version as the driver (6111
in this case I guess)?  Bad things happen if they don't match.

I have 6111 working just fine on 2.6.7 on Debian, so the driver is
capable of working at least.  I did use the Debian installer for it
though, not nvidia's installer.
