Are you doing a cold restart ?
I would help a lot if you could try this with glxgears and/or quake3:
I just gave it a shot with UnrealTournament. I'll try with Q3A in a
little bit
* cold restart
* start one of 3d programs
measure time before lockup
2 minutes... That's with just twm, an xterm, and UT running. I'm not
even using half of my systems memory at the time of the lockup (about
400 megs of the 1 gig). Nothing being swapped.
* cold restart
* put some memory pressure to mix things up - I would suggest loading
a few files in OpenOffice, opening gimp with large pictures, etc,
until most of memory is used up.
use "quiet" programs (like word processors or spreadsheets) that can
be swapped out.
* start one of 3d programs, measure time before lockups.
Less than 30 seconds. This time I have KDE, openoffice, abiword,
gimp, gv, epiphany, mozilla, firefox, thunderbird, and a few other
apps running in the background. Amazingly, I still wasn't swapping.
When the lockup occurred, I was using 1021364k of 1034532k according
to top.
Now to see if I can repeat the results with Q3A.

Sorry for sending the previous e-mail from my work address. Not quite
sure how that happened.
Anyway, I've repeated the test with Quake3...
Cold restart, no other X apps (not even twm or xterm): 10 minutes
before a lockup.
Cold restart, X, vncserver, gimp, abiword, openoffice, mozilla, etc.: 10
seconds.
Again, it still wasn't swapping when the lockup happened according to
top, but loading up the memory definitely seems to have an impact.
