busyspheres screensaver crashes gdm

I see the similar output from Planeshift on Edgy AMD64 X2
My Planeshift do not crash is just freezes up the whole computer for long periods.

Warning: Keep in mind that the both my Planeshift and the Nvidia driver below is not part of Edgy so I just post this to maybe give more clues the puzzle. Ill see if I can downgrade nvidia driver and get the problem in ppracer.

I tried to fix it by switching to later NVidia driver from http://albertomilone.com/driver.html
But I still have the same problem but the output below is NOT from the stock Edgy drivers

I got the same problem from PPracer also, but it don't start now since my driver upgrade
Ill try to downgrade NVidia drivers and see if I can compare the output. PPracer and Planeshift is the only 3d stuff I execute (well glxgears also :) And I just tried so this might have been broken in my setup for a long time.

Ok now I have stock nvidia (Edgy) and the problem in PPRacer (Also Edgy)

The problem description is that PPRacer/whole machine freezes in the "race" while much 3d gfx
is used. It seems to have to do with the nvidia driver using 3d stuff...

Here is some info from my machine (still AMD64 X2)

Hello
I reported the new driver (GL_VERSION = 2.1.0 NVIDIA 96.29)
on nvnews here is the reference:

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=80310

My Problem dissapeard after I upgraded my BIOS and resetted the settings, in the process I also upgraded to latest Nvidia Beta 9742. My problem in planeshift seems gone after an hour and a half of gameplay (my old problem appared after a few sec/minutes.

My progress can be viewed at
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=80310

Since I don't have the first error I can't say much about that problem.

Likely, we need to open a task on nvidia-glx-* in 8.10, too. Is this symptom still reproducible there?
