FWIW, I had lockups when I use nVidia GeForce with the generic driver. But 
IIRC, it was only the X. I could SSH to the machine and kill X, for example. 
I didn't pursue the problem since I was only testing/play around with the 
machine. I ended up putting RHEL in it (which I had plan for before). Sorry 
couldn't more help.
