Same for me (mm-sources-2.6.5_rc1-r1 and nvidia-1.0.5336-r1)

[Comment 2 Andrew Bevitt 2004-04-15 16:24:51 UTC]

What about the new 2.6.5 release?

Does this happen when switching between terminals from X to CLI and back?

[Comment 3 Andrew Bevitt 2004-05-10 20:48:50 UTC]

Please test nvidia-kernel-5336-r3 (preferably with 2.6.6 kernel, but not essential) and report back please.

Please try the ebuild in here if you are still experiencing lockups.
