Hi,

I assume you are using an NVIDIA RIVA TNT2-based graphics card (NV5).
I have observed somewhat similar instability of RIVA TNT2 M64 with VIA
Technologies Apollo MVP3 chipset.
Of all the graphics chips I have tested, RIVA TNT2 M64 is by far the worst in
terms of system stability on an Apollo MVP3 chipset-based mainboard.
I have tested this Apollo MVP3 chipset-based mainboard against various NVIDIA,
ATI Technologies, and SiS graphics chips.
In case of NVIDIA, their new stuff (i.e., GeForce 2 MX, GeForce 4 MX, and
GeForce FX) work much better than RIVA TNT2 M64.
Strange problem since RIVA TNT2 M64 works fine on many other AGP-based
mainboards I have.
I assume it is some kind of VIA Technologies specific device driver bug that
manifests itself when mated with RIVA TNT2.
Refer to this report I have submitted.

I will be filing a bug report regarding this issue with freedesktop.org soon.

Regards,
