"Disabling RenderAccel in xorg.conf or using the OpenSource nv driver solved the
problem here. Seems to be a bug in nVidia driver."

"I confirm that, disabling RenderAccel solves the problem with nVidia drivers
version 76.67."

and several other comments....  It's an nvidia bug, and there's not a
whole lot we can do about it.  You resolved it correctly earlier.  I'm
puzzled, though, why did you reopen?  I mean, it's great that you're
trying to help them out, but we probably couldn't help no matter how
much we wanted to; all we can really do is point them at the people
who can help them.

Cheers,
