$ ulimit -a
core file size        (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size         (kbytes, -d) unlimited
file size             (blocks, -f) unlimited
max locked memory     (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size       (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files                    (-n) 1024
pipe size          (512 bytes, -p) 8
stack size            (kbytes, -s) 10240

max user processes            (-u) 6143
virtual memory        (kbytes, -v) unlimited

Is this acceptable?

You seem to be right. I'm using the NVIDIA module (latest) and if I change
the xorg's config and use "nv" default module and doesn't crash.

Is it possible to debug the module?

Thanks for the help.
