Thanks for the tip!
...but unfortunately it did not change anything
tried both 'acpi=noacpi' and 'apm=noapm' but the system still freeze.

And this only happens with gem 0.91. (Gem 0.90 and pdp works fine!)

Anyone have a working 0.91 on hardy?

FYI on all my machines I've seen freezes when rending with NVIDIA
proprietary drivers.

To make em stable I've had to add the following kernel options:

acpi=off noapm

then its stable.

Mind you, I've never seen this happen immediately, only after running X
for some time....

worth a try...

I've not jumped to hardy yet, will be a couple months when my thesis is
done.
