Please attach (as opposed to paste) log files and corresponding config files.

Xorg.0.log

my xorg.conf 

Attached my "xorg.conf" file as requested...

Note that i don;t see any erros occuring in the log file I attached above, but
what I do see is this when i try to run my test app:

JDraw - Detected DGA Mode: 5 640x480x8 60.0Hz
JDraw - Unable to open the DGA framebuffer
If you want to use X11 DGA, please make sure this executable is SUID root.

The code that generates this is:
  /* See if we can open access to the framebuffer */
  if (!XDGAOpenFramebuffer(Xdga.XDisplay, Xdga.XScreen)){
      puts("JDraw - Unable to open the DGA framebuffer");
      puts("\nIf you want to use X11 DGA, please make sure this executable is
SUID root.\n");
      XCloseDisplay(Xdga.XDisplay);
      Xdga.XDisplay = NULL;
      return FALSE;
  }


The only time this call normally fails is when the app is run by a user that
doesn;t have the required privs ie. non-root.  But since 6.9.0 it seems even
when i run it as "root" it fails...

AFAIK the nvidia driver disables the non-mouse functionality of the DGA
extension by default. I suggest looking for this in its documentation.

The radeon driver doesn't support the non-mouse functionality of the DGA
extension with EXA. If you're not using EXA, please attach config and log files
for the radeon driver.

hmmm... so how is it it only stopped functioning since i installed xorg 6.9.0,
even though i'm using the same revision of the nVidia driver (7676)? 

Also when i boot into my other distro (Ubuntu) which has xorg 6.8.2 and the
nvidia driver also the app works fine!

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

Nobody is going to spend time fixing DGA when there are better alternatives.  
DGA will be dropped as soon as possible ;)
