Yet another Xorg/Nvidia "fails to start" thread

Recently upgraded my Geforce2 Ti 200 to a Geforce 6800 Ultra.  The hardware change was painless and the system booted straight into X. 
However, that was using the nvidia-71xx/nvidia-71xx-utils driver.  The 6800 is listed as being capable of using the current nvidia/nvidia-utils driver.  Installed that but despite the glossy nvidia logo flashing briefly, X failed to start, ending with a fairly cryptic error:

(II) Initializing built-in extension XEVIE
(II) Initializing extension GLX

Backtrace:
0: /usr/bin/X(xf86SigHandler+0x7e) [0x80bddee]
1: [0xb7f2f420]
2: /usr/bin/X(main+0x2ca) [0x8073d7a]
3: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0) [0xb7cd9390]
4: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x209) [0x80732b1]

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting

The whole Xorg.0.log file is here.
My xorg.conf file is here.

Any suggestions, as I've been tearing my hair out uninstalling & reinstalling xorg & nvidia packages and modules, all to no avail.

Originally the Option "Composite" "0" was set to enable, but changing it made no difference.
Reverting to nvidia-71xx works fine (but nvidia-96xx doesn't).

Re: Yet another Xorg/Nvidia "fails to start" thread

I had a problem like this (backtrace) once and it involved fgrlx being installed or not installed, I don't remember which. (I only have an nvidia card). I know it sounds ludacris but it is worth a shot.
