For what it's worth, the newest nvidia driver in ports (256.53)
reliably freezes both my 8-STABLE and 9-CURRENT machine dead within
minutes (amd64 , KDE4 both with and without compositing, Geforce GT240
cards. The mouse stops moving, no keyboard input does anything, it
doesn't answer on the network.)

I haven't had time to look at it, so I'm using the nv driver for now.
