huh, mine never took that long. I would be watching xawtv or reading a
web page or email or something (one time it locked up in the middle of
the night with only seti@home running), and the screen would just
freeze. Sound from the TV would continue, but the mouse froze and the
LCD panel's heartbeat stopped. But, when I logged out of X and turned
xdm off, I never noticed a single lockup. That convinced me that the
Nvidia drivers were causing it.

I could reproduce it; I just knew that it would happen within a few hours.
