Solved. Xorg was outdated. Updated with dselect, and the nvidia
driver works now. Thanks to Lennart Sorensen for pointing me in
the right direction!

I'm running an amd64, with 64bit linux (Sid), with evga 8800gts graphics card.
I did apt-get update && upgrade today.
Then I downloaded latest linux source 2.6.26.5 from kernel.org, and downloaded
the latest nvidia-kernel-source using apt-get.
I compiled a custom kernel and latest nvidia-kernel-source according to procedures
outlined at http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers . I've done this before successfully,
and was running Nvidia driver before this action.
The problem is that X will not start now with the Nvidia driver. It WILL start with
the nv open source driver.
Looking in /usr/lib/xorg/modules, I have a symlink libwfb.so pointing to
libnvidia-wfb.so.100.14.11, which doesn't exist in this directory, and X complains about
it in the Xorg.log file, attached. It also complains about module type1.
Can anyone offer help or suggestions?
