libglx.so seg fault occasionally after installing new card.

I used to have another Nvidia card, but I recently upgraded to a 460. The same drivers are used, so I didn't change anything there(I don't know if this was retarded).

Anyway, after a while(it will happen eventually, but not right away) of watching streaming video in firefox, my mouse will move, but be unable to click, then my mouse will freeze. I am still able to ssh in to my computer; X is crashing.

So I did that, and here is the pertinent info from my Xorg.0.log file

I have no idea what's causing this, and worse yet, I don't know how I will know if it's fixed as the issue seems to happen at random, but only seems to happen when I am watching streaming video.
I am running a pacman -Syu right now, but I already updated nvidia when I got the card. Also I had already updated my xorg.conf file:

    EndSubSection
EndSection

Searching the internet, I came upon this: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=86253

But, I don't have that option in my xorg.conf file(should I add it, is it default true?)Any Ideas on where to start?

Another Bump for help, if there is a better place to post this, maybe I could be pointed there?

Re: libglx.so seg fault occasionally after installing new card.

Did you post on that nvnews forum in your post?  It looks like a pretty active community, might have more traction there.

Re: libglx.so seg fault occasionally after installing new card.

yeah I did, nothing yet from them either though.

I played starcraft for a few hours straight tonight without a hiccup. Could I be looking in the wrong place? I would think if it were an issue being caused by the drivers, something as intense as gaming would set it off if watching video did...

I think my next step is to test if  this will happen when watching a downloaded video. Maybe it has something to do with lag(trying to play a piece of video that isn't there could be the segfault, no?
Maybe learning more about libglx.so would be a good idea too, looks like I may be on my own with this one...

Re: libglx.so seg fault occasionally after installing new card.

I have heard about some unsolvable problems with newest drivers and 4** series. Try either downgrading drivers two steps back or switch to nouveau until new drivers version appear. Nouveau is enough to play Starcraft and use kwin.

Re: libglx.so seg fault occasionally after installing new card.

Bump; I am still having this problem.
It seems to happen with all flash video, and I can't seem to find any way around this. I don't always get the same error in Xorg.0.log. For instance, I just crashed today and this was my log file:

[ 46917.803] nvLock: client timed out, taking the lock
[ 46923.819] (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (2, 6, 0x8000, 0x00008c80, 0x0000ab8c)
[ 46930.819] (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x00008c80, 0x0000ab8c)

Anyone have any ideas here? I found this thread as well https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=120977, I think it's the same problem.

As I understand it, shouldn't flash be unable to crash X?

I can't kill X with Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, but if I ssh in and

/etc/rc.d/lxdm stop
pkill X
ps aux
[kill all X processes]
/etc/rc.d/lxdm start
startx

Or something like that(don't quite remember all the steps), it will get my back to my desktop...
Anyone have any ideas here?
