Subject: black screen with 2.6.29 on new imac

I need to find out if somebody else is having
the same issues as me(with the new imac):
latest kernel(2.6.29) loads up without any freezes.
upon startx I receive the lovely nvidia logo,
then nothing. (black screen)

xserver(version)
pulled from git yesterday.

As a simple test running ubuntu intrepid
(alpha version) loads fine with the xf86-nv
as well as the binary. but runs kernel 2.6.27-rc*
(leading me to believe that this has something to
do with 2.6.29; but could be wrong)

any ideas?
