I have been experiencing some issues with X too, but in my case they
seem to be related to beryl + screen saver (things did seem to be
better with the previous version of the driver). Sometimes when I try
to resume work X behaves just like Dario described: mouse still works,
and keyboard leds are responsive, but screen is frozen and everything
else fails. Disk activity also seems to be high.

I can still go to one of the consoles (CTRL+ALT+F1) and 'top' shows me
beryl is hogging the CPU. Sometimes killing it gives control back to
me, but it doesn't happen all the time.

Dario: if you have an ATX case, pressing the power button quickly
should do a proper shutdown. It's a pain, but still better than risk
losing data...

Have you guys commented these problems on nvidia forums?
