I've had this problem for months now... even though I'm using 6.2-STABLE 
and the plain 'nv' driver (it's an amd64 box, so I don't have a choice 
here). I'd say it happens once every 10 times I switch from X to console 
[the machine locks hard], at first I thought it could be a problem with 
the Modeline I'm using, but apparently not.

Modeline     "1440x900" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 
+HSync +Vsync

[rainer_at_bsd ~]$ grep Chipset /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Btw, I'm running xorg 7.2
