Can you try with the drivers/char/agp changes backed out ?
What motherboard chipset ?

ok, i've tried all snapshots starting with today's bk patch. bk[567]
crashed upon x startup. bk[34] crashed while moving windows around (i'm
using the ion window manager, so it got more of a "beam window around").
bk2 and vanillia seemed stable, but both crashed after a short time.
Then I've looked at my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and found my "aggressive" AGP
Settings (enabled 'fast write', agpmode set to 4), i'm now running
with bk2 with agpmode set to 2, seems stable. I will try bk-5 after some
working with bk2.

ok, running with 2.5.69-bk8 since 11.5h. I'v just enabled agpmode = 2 in
XF86Config-4, everythink is on standard value. The system is stable till
now.
I've changed the settings around 2.5.69 because i've tried to get the
linux neverwinter nights client running smoother and have forgotten to
remove it from the config file. I must have been lucky until 2.5.69-bk5
which started to crash my system (so there isn't a regression, just a
"normal" instability (of which i have been warned...).

I am not so sure. I have a geforce3 ti5, that has been running fine
with nvidia drivers 1.0.4363 (yes, I know they are not supported here).
Thing is, until 2.5.69-bk1/2/3, it have been running fine, and with
bk7/8, I have had X dieing when just scrolling a window in evolution
or galeon. This is usually if it had been up for a few hours.
Thus, basically with the same drivers/X/whatever, it has been
working fine for day no reboot, but somewhere after bk3 something
is causing it to misbehave.
The mobo is a Asus P4C800 (Intel 875p chipset), with the agp running
in 4x mode.

reproduce it without the binary crap, and I might be interested.
