After filing my last comment above, I moved to Debian Lenny on that machine, and so I no longer have easy access to Ubuntu. My newer machine (also Debian) doesn't even have nvidia hardware. Thus it's no longer a problem for me, but I have no idea if "Fix Released" is accurate, either. What's the

It crashed again overnight. While I couldn't figure out how to run xrestop from a virtual console, I did run top -b -d 2 -n 5 in case it helps. If you can tell me if I can run xrestop from a virtual console, I'll try that the next time it freezes. ** Attachment added: "topoutput.txt" http://l
