I thought I might just jump in here to share my experiences:
On Red Hat Linux 8.0, my system would seldom stay up for more than an hour after installing the latest nVidia display drivers. After a short while, the display would turn to garbage and the system would be completely locked up.
hmm, that would drive me up a wall -
As you might guess, I have reverted to the XFree86 nv driver, and use Windows for games.
How sad -
Maybe it's just me, but I've had good luck with the nvidia driver as long as I compile it on the system for the kernel that's running. (OK, I know it's just compiling a wrapper...)
Oh, and using the in-kernel AGP driver - I have seen lockups with freinds who used the nvagp, and/or installed a binary RPM of the nvidia kernel driver -
I'd much much rather see a solid OSS driver though, since it's a hassle to recompile the nvidia drivers any time I upgrade the kernel - not to mention it'd be more convenient for Aunt Bessie not to have to recompile....
