Antacid, Please

I'm trying to get my TVPC up and running and I'm hitting a wall every time I try to install the Nvidia drivers.  Normally these drivers work like a charm (yes, even on my Slackware machines).

This time they're killing.  I have a GeForce 7300 GT video card.  In addition, I have a pcHDTV tuner card.  My concern is that there is a conflict in the driver between these two devices, but I can't find anything in the log files that suggests this might be the case.

Anyhow, here is my attempt to fix the problem.  It's below the fold hidden from you non-geeky types who might find their way here.
The GLX libraries don't seem to be loading, but I don't think that is the problem.  I started the X server and my machine apparently froze.  I was able to log in using ssh which ran incredibly slowly.  I think the Nvidia drivers are consuming most of my system resources when I start my X server.
