Couldn't find what the source of this was... But I can tell you that it's not the kernel.. I tried many combinations of kernel + nvidia drivers (that were running OK for many months) and it still freezes X. So, to me, it's X or glibc or something else, but: As I don't need GL accell I just installed the nv driver from X :) Anyway, back then I found some reports of people having the same problem. Google for it ;) Regards, Nuno Silva
