he said he made he is running at the 4x rate. In the nvidia readme it
says thats some VIA chipsets have experienced problems running at 4x so
Nvidia forces the computer run at the 2x rate. The readme goes on to
say that you can try to turn on 4x but that is up to you, as it is
experimental. Perhaps there is a problem when Nvidia forces the
computer to run at that 2x rate. I will try to to enable the 4x rate,
I'm not going to tamper with the source code, there is a parameter you
can tell the Nvidia kernel, I will try that instead. Hoepfully this
will work, thats for the link.

I've had the same problem, what did solved it was to remove renderaccel from xorg.conf or comment out or set to false. pick and choose. This was done after search the gentoo forums and bugzilla. But that didn't solved it, and after another forum visit, someone mention to add ip v6 to the kernel, which was not the case in my kernel config. After recompiling, no more freezes. Finaly I hope, and indeed no more freeze for the last week.
