The system hung again with  nvidia driver 180 so I switched it to the nv 
driver. It looks like it is ok so far ( more than 24 hours ) but the nv 
driver drives me nut when I have to scroll the browser, either by page 
or by line. It takes about 1.5 to 2 seconds for one scroll and I can see 
the screen srcoll really really *slow*. When I need to scroll several 
pages, it even worses. Dragging the scrollbar seems better but still 
slow in compare with the nvidia driver.
