Hmm interesting, I'm now using the nvidia agp driver (Option "NvAgp" "1" 
in /etc/X11/XF86Config), and it seems stable at the moment (also had to 
upgrade to waimea 0.4.0 because it kept seg faulting)... haven't really 
stressed it though. Might be an interesting hint for people who are 
having problems with the nvidia drivers.
