Maybe the problem was the beta kernel and the driver. It looks like the version 4496 of the binary driver (from nvidia) didn't supported the 2.6 kernel. So i updated both and then I've spent the rest of the day stressing up the graphic system using quake : ) and it didn't fail me down. So i believe it is finally rock solid.
Thanks to all

well, dont expect reliability from nvidia drivers on development kernels, since they were made for the older structure... lockups happen sometimes :)
To tell you the truth, my X Server (running a Geforce2 MX) has been much more reliable and less prone to freezes since I moved to the 2.6 kernel. Plus, the Entrance bug I had with it not being able to catch X crashes at times (or SIGKILLs) seems to have now disappeared, making it even more difficult for me to track down. :)

geforce2 mx400? hmmm, does it have a fan? is it working properly? you can try that 'nvtune' to lower the clock speed and see if it locks up...
I'm sure it has a fan, my mx200 does.

I'd hope so :)
Don't be so sure. I spent 3 years trying to figure out why my SB16 wouldn't work with the alsa driver, only to eventually find out the stupid thing was failing to properly initialize the isapnp card regardless of the isapnp parameter to the driver.
