[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1310551] Re: NVIDIA proprietary driver 331.38 from package nvidia-331 on Xubuntu 14.04 causes display to hang

[hypha]

I can confirm that I only have the same problem when using Nvidia
binary driver - version 331.38 from 331 updates. After switching to
tested (instead of with updates), it works fine.

Xubuntu 14.4 bits
Nvidia GeForce 610M
Desktop: XFCE

Title:
  NVIDIA proprietary driver 331.38 from package nvidia-331 on Xubuntu
  14.04 causes display to hang

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers-331 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On 14.04 I am getting an issue on my Thinkpad T520 where running the
  proprietary,tested 331.38 driver causes my display to hang. It seems
  to stay that way until I switch to tty6 with ctrl+alt+f6 and then back
  to tty7 which has the display, this causes it to un-hang. This then
  happens back and forth. I am not sure but it might be triggered by
  clicking things, opening windows and such. The problem disappears when
  switching back to the open source driver.

  Should I try an even newer driver from nvidia, or is there any more
  information you need for troubleshooting?

Bug description:
  I'm using an Optimus laptop (Asus N43SL)
  nvidia-prime is installed, so my nvidia dedicated graphics card (GT 540m) is 
in use.

  Once in a while, my screen will freeze, only when I use my touchpad.
  This does not happen with my USB mouse.
  This does not happen either when I uninstall nvidia-prime and use my intel 
integrated graphics (HD3000).

  I can temporarily solve the issue by doing a VT switch.

  
  In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: 
touchpad found each time I did a VT switch and regained control.
