I have similar kind of freeze issues. However, i could ssh into the box
and run gdm-restart to bring back the sanity to the frozen laptop. So,
this leads me to think that i have issues with nvidia proprietary driver
(beryl is running too). I have a laptop (Tecra M5) with Core 2 Duo, 3G
RAM with nvidia Quadro NVS 110M video Card.

Your symptoms are non-specific: lots of diseases have the same
symptom. So you need more information.
You can read a few of my messages to the list about things to try.
- when a lock-up happens, try to ssh in from another computer. If you
can, then it isn't a kernel crash
- boot with kernel parameter "maxcpus=1". This may suppress the
problem. Not a great long-term solution because you lose the use of
one of your cores.
- use a serial console to discover what's bugging your system
- use kdump and clash(8) to grab a dump when the kernel crashes and
then analyze that dump.
