I just did, and unfortunately the behavior is the exact same. Just to display my potential ignorance, what I did was to replace nv_drv.o from the RedHat package with that from the binary distribution at ftp.xfree86.org. I still get a hard lockup, and it seems as if the log files that I am able to obtain reveal nothing at all. I guess they are truncated at a more or less random point in time when the machine hangs. So... is there any way that I might try to look deeper into this, preferably without having to rebuild X from scratch?
