I am having the same problem and in the XFree86 log file it seems right when X11 tries loading libfb.a and hardware locks up then game over.

Here is the part I am talking about:

(**) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes for display device CRT-1:
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "1280x960": 108.0 MHz, 60.0 kHz, 60.0 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "1024x768": 78.8 MHz, 60.1 kHz, 75.1 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "800x600": 56.3 MHz, 53.7 kHz, 85.1 Hz
(**) NVIDIA(0): Default mode "640x480": 36.0 MHz, 43.3 kHz, 85.0 Hz
(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1280 x 960
(--) NVIDIA(0): Display dimensions: (280, 220) mm
(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (116, 110)
(II) Loading sub module "fb"
(II) LoadModule: "fb"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libfb.a


The part in BOLD is what I am talking about.

I'm having the same problem running under fedora core 2. libfb.a and then system hangs hard. Worked fine for a while and now no go. I've tried the 8k stacks kernel, commenting out the dri stuff in xorg.conf, yada yada yada. Something still broken, but for the life of me I cannot figure out where else to look short of a full re-install.

Some people at gentoo forums say the ehci module (USB 2.0) is causing the conflict by disabling the same IRQ the video cards uses (don't ask me why). So, if you can live without USB 2.0, remove it from kernel.
I still have to try that solution but I'm stuck at my office right now.
