I had the exact same release, and didn't know ANYTHING about that
patch, and it was working perfectly. I use the word "was" because last nite
I went to 5.2.1-RELEASE-p11, and I've had 3 lock ups since. I've actually
reverted back to 5.2.1-RELEASE-p4 and it hasn't locked up yet.
I might apply that patch and add that function and see if things
calm down.

Odd, all I had was :
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVidia"
BoardName "0x0174"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

I will have to try that also. Thanks for the leads.
