I've just tried the driver on a 5.0 desktop with nVidia Ti4200 and I get
similar lock-ups.  I also find that I get no display after shutting down
KDE, so it's back to the nv driver for now.  (Tried turning ACPI off etc.)

There's good info and FAQ at:

Have you tried xvidtune? I'm not sure about using it on a laptop display though.
