Any ideas on X freezing up with NVIDIA drivers?

[Chris Readle]

Sorry for the delayed response, was out with a sick child yesterday and
had no web access at the Dr's office (they really need to put hotspots in
waiting rooms! ;).

At any rate, I also haven't had a chance to look at my files yet, but I
wanted to make sure to remind you to set option "NvAgp" "2" if you do,
which I know for a fact I'm using in my file.
