Just want to check with the list that what's the current situation on
this freezing problem with the nvidia driver. Any solution yet?
Since I switch to the nv driver, I haven't had a single freeze.

FWIW,
I changed my video card a few weeks ago as one was on clearance sale.
It is still an Nvidia card and it works like a dream. No issues at all.
On the other hand, with a fully updated FC6 box, I have had freezes that
show the exact symptoms that I had on my F7 machine. During the freeze
I ssh'd into the computer and ran top and saw that Xorg was at 95%.
When I tried to strace the machine froze. My work computer us using ATI
so this points to a kernel issue.
With what I have been reading about changing the kernel scheduler and
queuing system, I wonder if there is a conflict that will take some time
to find.
I have been to busy to look at the nvidia site for personal reasons.
Work and other things are why I have taken so long to reply.
