I've installed kernel 2.6.35-rc6 from the Kernel Head repository, and a side effect seems to be that... the freezing has gone away.... so far. Watching top from another computer ssh'ed to the server, and Xorg is behaving itself... bouncing between 2% and 25% (peak) remaining usually around the 10% mark while events are happening on the desktop.
So.... not sure how to ID the root cause... but it seems to be sorted in a newer kernel.
I hope you open a bugzilla so Stefan Dirsch can be made aware. He handles the graphics drivers.
You can assign the bug directly to him "sndirsch at suse.de" and it will skip the front door team which can take a few days (or more).
Question is.. what do I put in the bug report... Xorg wasn't behaving with 2.6.34 but now it is with 2.6.35? :-P
I'm not a nvidia expert. It normally just works good enough for me and I ignore the details. But with 11.3 nvidia seems to be particularly problematic. Maybe we need to get some of this info on the wiki somewhere, but it seems there are 8 configs to test and report bugs against: 2.6.34 with default kms -- X crashes for me 2.6.34 with frame buffer driver (nomodeset) -- I get occasional weird firefox / X behavior 2.6.34 with nvidia 1.x driver that is currently in the nvidia repo -- I've seen people report issues with hibernation. 2.6.34 with nvidia 2.x driver (factory team is working on packaging this) -- I've only seen a couple positive reports. (I want to try this on my laptop next, but I'm waiting for the packages to be in the nvidia repo,) I assume all 4 also apply to 2.6.35. And of course nvidia has lots of models. So bug reports that helped Stephen Dirsch track down which of the above are working with which hardware would be helpful I think. (Or maybe he'd rather not know? But I'd like him to know.) But tracking all this on the wiki pages would also be good and we don't need the devs to help out with that.
