I got them when running glxgears (but this was when I switched back to 
the nv driver).  XWindows would normally come up as a blank screen 
(although rhgb would work normally).  I tried changing to a low 
resolution (800x600 instead of 1280x1024) in case that was the problem, 
but nothing changed.  The other segfault was when I toook the XServer 
down (ctrl+alt+bksp) due to the blank screen.
