Nvidia crashes on me - randomly. It'll do so once or twice a day.
Leaving me with a white/greenish flickering screen with no rescue.
Doesn't help to kill the X server, but I'm able to get into a shell with
ctrl+alt+F1. This doesn NOT change the crashed screen though. But I'm
able to type root/password and hence "shutdown -r now" which is
respected by the OS and carried out.



how does the device section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf look like?



The crashing is not limited to KDE. It is crashing Compiz with GNOME. It
seems when I start working with OpenOffice, Compiz will crash on me.
