Funny you should say that... my machine has decided about a week ago,
with no apparant changes, that if left idle for a while with X running
it will at best segfault on the X server and at worst crash hard and
have to be power-cycled. If I disable the NVidia drivers, all is fine.
Tried different AGP settings etc to no avail. *arrggh*
Its unfortunate that when the drivers and cards work, they're the best
available esp for x-video, 3D, etc.
