THANK YOU!!!!!

OK, here's what you need to do:

1.  Download the latest nvidia driver (version 9626, NOT 9625) - just 
released 3 days ago
2.  Apply the above 9625 patch to remove smbus functionality
3.  In the Device Section of your xorg.conf file, add the NvAGP 1 option:

    Identifier     "Device0"
    Option         "NvAGP" "1"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
