@Yusef:

at the risk of being a bit off-topic, i'll mention that i have a very similar experience on a Gentoo system with a GeForce GTX 465 using the 275.09.07 driver. i also have similar problems in Windows 7 in some graphics-intensive games and Flash videos with the same card, especially with the 275.33 driver (less so with the 270.61 or the 275.50). at some point, the whole system simply freezes; in Windows, the screen goes black for about 10 seconds, then reboots.

on a different system with a GeForce 330M, i don't have these issues, and the 275.09.04 and 275.09.07 drivers both resolve the specific issue in this bug (freezing during Konsole resize).

do you have a GTX 400 series card? if so, try a card from a different series. perhaps there's something wrong with these. i plan on doing the same when i find time to borrow my roommate's GTX 260.
