    Hi,

    I experience same problem on FC3 and FC4, but, when I replace default nvidia
    driver with commercial nvidia driver on FC3, problem disappear on FC3. I try
    the same on FC4 but no luck.
    So, on FC4 I have freeze problem with both drivers. The problem is exactly
    the same as Alan described, I can ssh to machine when xorg is freezed, I can
    reboot, restart xorg... I also didn't find any errors or warnings in logs (
    Xorg.0.log, messages) or dmesg.

    Alan, did you experience same problem also with default nvidia driver?

    Anyway I will try without "RenderAccel" option.

    regards bruma
