I've been having full freezes lately, some depending on module evdev being
unloaded (check the Xorg log). There was also some NVRM concurrency related
messages when CPU spiked, but those were solved by the latest Nvidia driver
release. I also got some freezes with nouveau driver. There seems to be
some issue with more recent versions of xorg core
