The problem was so bad I had to remove Dapper off my PC. But I have
tried the same things are Rick. Sometimes my mouse wold keep working
something everything locked up. I studied every piece of documentation
on Xorg and nothing seems to correct the issue.
The whole extreme lock-ups started on the kernel that was released just
before I posted this bug. Before that it was very stable.
I suspect the problem falls on using the AGPart and would be better
corrected having a seperate kernel compiled for nVidia users using the
NVagp module in the kernel.
