I really doubt the nvidia is the problem
unless it's actually bad hardware doing
strange things to the bus.

FWIW I've torture tested linux with voodoo,
nvidia and radeon cards, and interestingly
enough the only problems I've seen are
with the radeon.

However to satisfy all demands you could
change the modules.conf line to read

alias char-major-195 off

I predict that will change nothing...
