Mine has exactly the same problem as yours.

$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0
Model:           GeForce4 MX 440
IRQ:             16
Video BIOS:      04.17.00.61.23
Card Type:       AGP

$ cat /proc/driver/nvidia/agp/status
Status:          Disabled

AGP initialization failed, please check the ouput
of the 'dmesg' command and/or your system log file
for additional information on this problem.

And not just KDE (I tried konqueror in Gnome and it locks up).

This also happens when I surf some URLs using latest mozilla-firefox
1.0.2 where
the whole system locks up. For example go to this URL:

http://tinyurl.com/3hofk

and click URL link on the page:

commons

-> the system locks up.



See the bug I entered into bugzilla:
