Just installed the 275.09 drivers on Ubuntu 10.04, still has the compiz
freezing issue.
What I did to get around it (because it is just a display issue) was hit
Alt+F2 and then type (blindly) metacity --replace which gave me back
my desktop.
I can't downgrade because I write and compile

Hello,
please be extremly careful with applying suggestion #73.
IMHO, this is not the solution.
I tried and is had screwed up my graphics. Cost me some hours to find
the solution because I thought the problem came from the bootloader.
I hope that the hibernate/suspend problems with these card
I was in way to setup the Nouveau experimental 3D driver (#73) . but I've
found unity-2d is working OK with NVIDIA recommended drivers.
sudo apt-get install unity-2d
unity-2d is not so fancy, but it works, it has lower reqs, and games

Thanks,

I managed to get the Nouveau experimental 3D driver back after a few
attempts. It seems to run the Unity desktop well, but if you try to run
a 3D program (I always use tux racer as a test), then it locks up the PC

I'm really impressed by the nouveau driver, most things are actually
working now, even hardware acceleration. The only problem I have with it
though that performance is not that great, at least not compared to the
nvidia driver, which on this older laptop does make a big difference.
I also tried
There is a bug in Jockey in that once a proprietary driver has been
installed, then the Nouveau driver (Listed as Experimental 3D)
disappears never to return!. Apparently you have to uninstall and purge
the nvidia drivers and reset xorg.conf to get the Nouveau one back in
the list, so it can be
BTW I cannot try the above, because the console screens are corrupted!

On my system every other bootup had corrupted console screens with the

while the next one would be OK, the one after trashed, etc. I the

working.

I just want a working PC, proprietary drivers or open source, anything
that works will do me. At the moment there is not a complete solution
for anything except the Classic desktop with no effects, which is being

a while yet!
