I've seen this problem mentioned in a fourm once before, but can't seem to find it again....I have a Inspiron 8500 with the gefore4 4200; after 5 minutes to few hours of running X, X totally locks up, except for the mouse which still moves. The machine is still fine (i'm able to ssh in) but ctl+alt+bksp does not respond, and killing X screws up the display until rebooting. Running Xpenguins seems to accelerate the problem. I'm running the ac-sources 2.4.21-ac4 and nvidia drivers 4363.

Using the "nv" driver that comes with X seems to fix to problem, but I'd like to run the nvidia provided driver. Has any one else seen or fixed this problem?
