I have been experiencing random X lockups since I upgraded to mozilla-1.2.1. A discussion on the forum has been started, and it would appear that the 'nvidia' driver is responsible. These lockups are random, but not entirely unreproducable. Use a web browser to open a very large/complex page and proceed to scroll up and down very fast and loading other pages simultaneously. These lockups cause the physical terminal to lockup as well, so little information can be provided. The data I have gathered indicates that X tries to consume all available processing power; it is uncertain whether or not that time is user or system time. It is claimed that the 'nv' driver does not have this problem.
which version of nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel?
That is why 4191 is marked as unstable. Downgrade to the stable version.
I'm using 3123. I'm trying out the suggestion about turning off Rendering Acceleration, it seems to have stopped, but why does this problem surface when rendering web pages more often than when rendering other things?
Maybe a specific problem with the nvidia render extension and how mozilla use it? What AGPGART are you using ?
Created attachment 7872 [details] XF86Config with nvidia driver that does not randomly lock up Remove the "RenderAccel no" option and random lockups will occur. I use the nvidia AGP driver unless my memory fails me.
Maybe try to use the kernel agpgart driver or vise versa if you use it? Try to check with: # lsmod | grep agp Wont work though if compiled in.

Hi - how is the latest version these days ? If still issues, please reopen. PS: sorry for no response in a long time ... time is just an issue these days ... Thanks.
