ACPI is still activated. Removing those two lines from my kernel 
configuration solved the problem for me. Have you tried that? This would 
help nailing the problem down, I guess.

BTW, I haven't tried with the geforce again, yet -- still running the 
i740 (which had the problems, too, of course).

Some people mentioned that the X11 freezes crawled in shortly before the 
5.2 branch; was there some (major?) update to the APIC stuff maybe? 
(Just guessing wild.)

Greetings,
Martin
