As it has been confirmed by others, I guess I can switch the bug to
confirm.

I still have my edgy system up and running so I will be waiting for the
latest nvidia drivers to get included in the distro.

I will confirm this bug, and it happens on CRT screens as well.  I've
tried it with both Planet Penguin Racer and atari800 emulator.  The 9631
driver fixes the issue.

Note that I am using a DFP device, as describe in that nv forum comment.

I appear to be having similar problems. I turned on the 'desktop-effects' stuff 
yesterday and it turns my machine into a brick after I login. I get some 
interesting 'Xid' messages in syslog (attached).

I already had problems with the screensaver kicking in and hanging the
machine, and of late it appears usplash and these drivers have begun a
catfight about resolutions, as usplash suddenly turns to blueish
(kubuntu) snow halfway during boot.

More worrying is that these crashes appear to be causing filesystem
corruption. At first it was not clear to me what was happening but after
such a crash I had some really odd behaviour that cleared up after
running an fsck. (which found errors, I might add).

I've been using 1.0-9631 through an unofficial repository
(http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/nonlegacy/32bit) and it
indeed fixed the crashing bug.
