Is this a laptop? And if you try using the nv driver, do the problems persist?

This looks strange. Quoting the acpid manpage:

In addition to rule files, acpid also accepts connections on a UNIX
domain socket (/var/run/acpid.socket by default). Any application may
connect to this socket.

Do you some sort of misconfigured firewall that blocks connections from
localhost?

I understand...so you can't reboot in order to load the nv module?

I could change that line & restart X easily..
but I changed a power setting, my computer went into suspend mode. I hit
the power button to wake it up, and now Xorg.0.log shows this at the end:
(II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "nvidia-auto-select"
(II) NVIDIA(0): Unable to connect to the ACPI daemon; the ACPI daemon
may not
(II) NVIDIA(0): be running or the "AcpidSocketPath" X configuration
option
(II) NVIDIA(0): may not be set correctly. When the ACPI daemon is
(II) NVIDIA(0): available, the NVIDIA X driver can use it to receive
ACPI

Assuming that acpid is installed and running.
