A thread is running on comp.os.linux regarding a problem of system hang (no keyboard; no mouse; system clock stops) perhaps every other week or so.
I just upgraded from RH7.1 to RH7.3 and I noticed that I get this problem of total keyboard lock trying to use the programs tuxracer and chromium and if I have the xscreensaver daemon not killed.
In chromium the mouse can still be moved, however does not respond to clicks and the music continues playing, keyboard locked. In xscreensaver lock-up all is blank and keyboard locked, however, my time announcer still goes on. In tuxracer all seems to be dead.
My mainboard is P6STMT with a SiS630ET chipset which includes integrated built-in video, audio, networking and communication capabilities.
What have I to do to fix this problem which is starting to mess-up my drives. I just had to go into rescue mode to do fsck in order to boot.
Regards

I can't offer advice, but merely point you to a discussion forum archive in which it appears off hand that the nVidia problem is widespread and that there's no consensus as to cause or correction:

In yourcase, you are sensitive to which app is running, and someone did suggest that the hang occurred whenever an application requested a resolution change.
Apparently different drivers are problematic to different degrees, some people upgrading them and others downgrading. The most recent driver I found was 1.0-2960, but I don't know where my old driver was stored by RedHat 7.2 so that I can find out my current version.
