Please try the non-rt kernel.

Please try a minimal xorg.conf as described in
/usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.Debian.gz and test using a single
display without twinview first. If that works, slowly add more options
(if you need them).

That's an old card that should also work with nvidia-glx-legacy-173xx

What was the last working version?

If nothing of the above helps, Nvidia's bug reporting instructions are
