Well a lot of code changed since RH7.2 :-) Maybe the nVidia binary can
solve your problem, but I would be tempted to try to see if I could find
the direction it is coming from first, because otherwise one is just
swapping things out hoping for a magic result without even a little
understanding of what the rules of the game are. That would mean next
time you must ssh in, do
less /var/log/Xorg.0.log
and hit the End key to see what the last kind of happenings are in the
log. Also
dmesg
and again look for any funnies. Then
killall Xorg
and see if your box comes back okay without needing a reboot.
Also if there is a BIOS update for your motherboard possible, maybe that
is worth a go.
A lot of folks report having luck with the livna packaged version of the
nVidia binary if you do have to go that route.
