Client causing X to become non-responsive (GeForce 7600 / Gentoo Linux).

Edit Hey sorry that I forgot to update this as soon as I tested, it was about 12am at the time. The new drivers have in fact fixed the problem, now running 173.14.05.

Hey, just attempted to play regnum again, I'm having a problem. Apart from the textures and effects being fairly broken, that is.

During gameplay (usually during pvp, sigh) the game will freeze. Mouse continues to move but commands to the character stop responding. I get a few frames of the movement around me, then it's utterly frozen.
Attempting to click out of the window and kill the game proves that X itself has gone non-responsive. The MOUSE moves, but I can't control it.

Method from then on :
Attempt ctrl+alt+f1, nothing.
ssh in from laptop, attempt chvt 1 as root, nothing.
Kill X (and therefore regnum)
Screen blanks.
Attempt chvt 1 and ctrl+alt+f1 again, nothing.
Start X again from ssh, this works, and my input is working on all fronts again.

This is an install of the latest Regnum version, on a Nvidia GeForce 7600 dedicated card, with the nvidia drivers (169.12), and, according to portage, Xorg X11 7.3.

Edit Just tested with a 100% clean regnum install, still happens. Also tested in safe mode, same result.

Currently attempting a driver update.

Total: 75 packages (71 upgrades, 1 new, 3 in new slots), Size of downloads: 228,634 kB

Lol, I should update more often. Will post results in a few hours.
