Following Wil's suggestion I've ssh'ed to the computer. When the lockup occurs, Xorg spikes to 100%... well I think it's 100%... even the ssh connection freezes for the duration... but when it happens, top via ssh seems to trap at least part of the Xorg going nuts and I see it bump to the top of the list, and show 95% CPU or higher... that's 95% across 2 cores.. normally when one core maxes, top shows 50% CPU. This appears to be pegging both cores to 100% for a short period.
Xorg version is 7.5-11.3-x86_64 from openSUSE OSS repo.
So.... an Xorg problem? Could it be related to installing the nVidia drivers? Disabling KVM? Using nomodeset?
OK, more work on this... and I might maybe have at least found a way to stop the freezing from happening. 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.
