I don't know why you're getting that... seems strange. Can you post
the kernel line of your /boot/grub/menu.lst?
$ lsmod | grep nouveau
$ lsmod | grep nvidia
nvidia 9318413 40

OK, so that means that your system does not have the nouveau driver
(your initramfs still might).
Looking at xorg.0.log however I find the following errors at the end
(everything else in the log looks alright to me):
Hmm.. I doubt that it's dualhead, you would have to configure that in
your xorg.conf before it worked with the NVIDIA driver.
Can you post this?
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep -i driver
I'm curious to see how long I can run this system now before it fails again...
Yeah, well let us know :-) What I've mentioned works for me on many
systems... so I would have thought it would work for you too..
