See my post on /. regarding the bug.
In summary, I have 2 Thunderbird systems - a dual 1.4GHz Thunderbird on Tyan Thunder K7 and a single 1.4GHz Thunderbird on Asus A7V133 - with NVIDIA cards and the latest 2313 NVIDIA driver. The single runs RH 7.2 and this one (the dual) an up2date RH 7.1 with kernel 2.4.17. I have no problems unless I boot a system into Win98. There are many other issues, as you all know (and many dorks on /. apparently do not), that can and will cause a system to hang. I run AGP4x, SBA, FSAA, and Anisotropic filtering on most all games. I compile often many different things. The ONLY times I have compile issues are when I compile some things (Torque game engine and Quake II) with -march at anything over pentium, at which point either the internal compiler bugs rear their ugly heads or I get strange graphics in a game.
But since kernel 2.4.14, never a system lock.
