Hi Charlie, since this appears to be a driver issue rather than
a core Xorg issue, I would recommend forwarding your bug report
to linux-bugs at nvidia.com.  Please be sure to include an
nvidia-bug-report.log (generated with `nvidia-bug-report.sh`).

As has already been mentioned in this thread, a temporary work
around is to either disable AGP or lower your AGP rate.  These sorts
of issues are often caused by AGP corruption.

Thanks,
- Andy
