The same problem has been reported by another person, he says his entire system freezes, which, it appears to do unless you can SSH into the box:

Look at his lspci listing.
james@dv6105us:~$ lspci
00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2)
00:00.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 0 (rev a2)
00:00.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 1 (rev a2)

Here is mine:
$ lspci
00:00.0 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Host Bridge (rev a2)
00:00.1 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 0 (rev a2)
00:00.2 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 1 (rev a2)
00:00.3 RAM memory: nVidia Corporation C51 Memory Controller 5 (rev a2)

Looks like the bug may be in the USB subsystem for this chipset.

Hi,

And there it goes again *LOCK*
root 2190 0.5 1.5 37832 31424 tty7 Ds+ 09:00 0:12 /usr/bin/X :0 vt7 -nolisten tcp -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-N5V00o

running X server with -nosilk helps something?

Hi,

After the BIOS update and request from Alan, if it *STILL* persists, I can try
this, thanks.

# grep -i silken Xorg.0.log*
Xorg.0.log:(==) NV(0): Silken mouse enabled
Xorg.0.log.old:(==) NV(0): Silken mouse enabled

Justin.
