I'm running the 4.0.4 additions on the machines (although this crash occurs
before the additions have a chance to be probed I think).  My machine has a
GeForce 8800GTX on it.  I'm using the nVidia binary drivers and kernel
module.

nvidia0: <GeForce 8800 GTX> on vgapci0

glxinfo lists 373 lines of info (including over two hundred supported modes)
including:

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 8800 GTX/PCI/SSE2
OpenGL version string: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 256.53
OpenGL shading language version string: 3.30 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
