Not that I know of, neither is there on the proprietary driver. I had to lower the AGP rate in my BIOS. I know you're using the nv driver, I just find it interesting I had the exact same symptoms even though I am using the proprietary drivers. It also seems varied between kernel/OS updates. Sometimes I can set it to it's max, at other times I need to lower it while having the same version of the NVidia driver. This leads me to believe it's not so much a driver issue but something in the kernel itself (either generating the errors or not dealing with them properly). YMMV but it's worth a shot, so is upgrading the BIOS to it's latest version. Which I had to do to even be able to lower the AGP rate in the BIOS. Cheers, Remko C.
