Hi, my system repeatedly locks up. This seems to occur while workingYou might want to check the other lists. (Fedora-list and Fedora-test-list).

I use the binary nvidia driver.
Would this be helpful to anyone to diagnose my problem, and who would that be? Is this a kernel problem or an X problem, or...
IOW, what can I do to help fix this.
Thanks for your time,

Did you try logging into a terminal blindly, then try running a command from the terminal? (After lockup or departed X)
[drm:i830_wait_ring] *ERROR* space: 131052 wanted 131064
I believe this error was displayed under /var/log/Xorg.0.log Do you have any such errors in this log?
Also querying bugzilla might show errors/fixes/workarounds if searched. Bugzilla was unresponsive when I checked a few minutes ago. It should work soon though. (Unless I was blocked :-) )
