Can you try a much simpler xorg.conf?

Driver section:
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
        BoardName   "Unknown Board"
        BusID       "PCI:2:0:0"

Comment out the Extensions section.

With the simpler xorg.conf, I can't reproduce this but I am on an Intel
processor.   Maybe AMD vs Intel has issues?

I cannot reproduce any more either but then again, I can't get
acceleration working in anything but Ubuntu right now for some reason.

Thanks!
