Maybe try turning off RenderAccel, that seems to be a problem area for 
the drivers.

Change this bit in xorg.conf:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000 AGP 8x]"
        Driver          "nvidia"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
        Option          "RenderAccel"           "false"
EndSection
