(I know, help is on the way, but I had an immediate need!) Since switching to a GeForce 2, there have been no problems whatsoever. When you say "that only happens" if you "load the nvidia drivers", do you mean to say that you only see that freeze if you run X windows? Or, that you see it only if you enable DRI? Lots of things beside nvidia to blame, if we are on a witchhunt....
