So you're running a 275.09.07 driver, but it crashes when you resize the konsole, as Ubuntu's default official nvidia driver?
I also installed using the nvidia packages, but I found it quite complicated, so I wouldn't recommend it... but I don't remember where exactly the problem was. Maybe you're not actually completely running the new driver? Check "/var/log/Xorg.0.log". I get this line:

[ 29.076] (II) NVIDIA dlloader X Driver 275.09.04 Thu Jun 2 12:53:09 PDT 2011

The libdrm issue with nouveau (it's about installing the distribution package xserver-xorg-video-nouveau, right?) you're probably having because the nvidia driver overrides files that normally are under package management in Ubuntu. You could try to (manually) remove nvidia files completely and install nouveau again (possibly with "--reinstall" or "--force").
