Description:
About fifteen hours ago I compiled the latest nouveau driver using ABS and it seems to have resolved my issue with GPU lockups.
The commit related to the issue is here:ubuntu-x@lists.ubuntu.com/msg00757.html"> http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-x@lists.ubuntu.com/msg00757.html
It seems the bug was encountered only if Option "GLXVBlank" was set to "true". Before compiling the latest version the GPU would freeze frequently (sometimes after a few minutes other times after a few hours). With the new version I did not encounter any lockup in 7 hours.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
- kernel: 3.6.2-1-ARCH x86_64
- xfce: 4.10
- compiz: 0.8.8-4
- xf86-video-nouveau: 1.0.2-2

* config and/or log files etc.

/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia card"
Driver "nouveau"
Option "GLXVBlank" "true"
