Both (actually many driver versions) had the same problem. There was a
actually bugcheck in the nvidia driver. I then upgraded xorg to 1.5.2
and the problem remained. In a few months I will be replacing the
machine so I am not to worried about this. I did attempt to get
nouveau working

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/

but that led to a compile error that I could not explain:

/var/tmp/portage/x11-base/x11-drm-99999999/work/drm/linux-core/nouveau_state.c:756:73:
error: macro "save_context" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0
/var/tmp/portage/x11-base/x11-drm-99999999/work/drm/linux-core/nouveau_state.c:757:74:
error: macro "save_context" passed 1 arguments, but takes just 0

the problem is that save_context is not a macro it is actually a
function that takes 1 parameter. Not sure if my kernel headers are
causing this or what. And since this machine must be up 24/7 (mythtv +
vps cvs/svn host) I could not spend much time debugging.

BTW, it was 128MB MSI NX6200AX and not a ASUS 256MB 7200GS. I got that
confused. I buy the 7200GS at work for PCI-E systems and 6200 models
for AGP systems.

I guess since I am getting offtopic for the wine list I should end
here. Thanks for the suggestion.
