II'm having a simlar issue my Shuttle X PC with an nforce 2
motherboard and the Nvidia 7167 driver under FC1.

For me, 6111 works, 6629 never worked right. 7167 almost works.

With 7167, I can load fvwm, and run mythtvsetup, but when I start
mythfrontend, it hangs and I can't even <ctrl><alt><backspace> out of
it.

I'm going to just be happy using the 6111 nvidia driver and stop
fiddling with it.
