I have similar problems on my box. I can make it almost stable by turning off AGP support by inserting the appropriate options in the XF86COnfig file. See the Nvidia release notes for all the various options you can use to control how their drivers work. I say "almost" because every now and then, not often, it will hang the whole machine when switching from text to GUI modes, i.e., if I"m at a text console, I do ALT-F9 (RH defaults to ALT-F7, but I've added 2 more text consolesl to my configuration) it'll draw the X screen, or part of it, then the whole thing comes to a screeching halt. But it's rare, so I tolerate it. > minute after booting or logging in. Sometimes it crashes altogether at > the GDM login screen.
