One of your last comments "It is the combination of kde and 2.6.20 that
don't play well together" gave me the impression that it was not a
hardware issue. Please add the output of 'lspci -vv' and 'lspci -vvn'
to your bug report as attachments so we will know what type of graphics
card you have. To use the open source nv graphics driver you can just
replace the word "nvidia" with "nv" in your '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' file.
While not exactly what you are looking for this wiki page has some
information about converting to the binary "nvidia" so you would want to
do the opposite thing.
