We too had curious hangs requiring a 'box reset' to recover.
This was with RH9/xfree86-4.3.0/kernel-2.4.20/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-4496-pkg2
Disabling AGP support in XF86Config helped here. e.g.:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "Videocard vendor"
BoardName "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)"
VideoRam 131072
Option "Stereo" "3"
#turn off AGP support for now
Option "NvAGP" "0"
EndSection
Cheers,
Terry.
