If it is X related then its both a kernel + X server issue, the e1000e driver opens the barn door, the X server drives the horses through it.Are you sure? There was a mandriva report abou NVM corruption on an e100 too (that one apparently just caused PXE failure, the networking worked fine).
That is very probably completely separate issue, and shoudl have been fixed already by 78566fecb.
