Can you press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace and restart X?
The whole system is unresponsive, doesn't respond to any keyboard commands.
Have you checked /var/log/XFree86.log.0? (might be several)
I will check it next time it happens.
From where did you install the nVidia drivers?
Got binaries from nvidia.com
When did the problem start happening?
Honestly I don't know.
Have you tried backing up your X config and using either
dpkg-reconfigure or apt-get --reinstall on X?
Trying it now without installing nvidia drivers. I cannot replicate this
problem as it is intermittent.
Have you considered upgrading to a newer kernel?
Hasn't crossed my mind.
