You da man!  Worked like a charm - wish I had come here right away
instead of screwing with it for a few hours! =)  The only problem I'm
noticing now is that it takes forever for X to start with 6629 (10-20
secs before first visual).  Any ideas?

Of _course_ I pick the one day things are completely broken to try and
upgrade everything  including the latest nvidia. Probably didn't help
matters that I tried to save time by doing a dist-upgrade +
kernel/ivtv/nvidia all at the same time.  Of course, shortcuts always
end up slowing you down as I had to then revert each in turn to find
out where it really broke.  =D

Anyway, running an at-stable dist-upgrade from today + kernel 2.6.9 w/
nvidia 6629 and ivtv 0.2.0-55_rc2j without any problems (yet!) except
the slow X start =)
