 http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-304.51-driver

We actually have looked at that, but we found there's a bug[1] with
304.51 and Unity when the launcher is set to auto-hide (it never
reveals).  This was found by testers of the development release, and we
reverted nvidia-current back to 304.43 as a result.

This is a particular problem for quantal because Unity is enabling
autohide by default, so the bug affects people by default and thus is
quite severe.  For precise, Unity does not auto hide by default, so that
makes it less severe; however precise is also an LTS so stability is
all the more important and known regressions in even non-default
functionality are still worth close scrutiny.

For quantal, we'll be shipping 304.43 as the nvidia-current version.
It's quite stable and received a huge amount of testing, so I think it's
a safe choice.

In quantal, we are including 304.51 as the nvidia-current-updates
version.  It does include some worthwhile bug fixes; still, this is a
bit risky: If precise users have -updates enabled and then upgrade to
quantal, then unity will break for them.  Yet at least there are paths
to work around the bug (by going back to nvidia-current).

I've notified NVIDIA about this bug, and they've confirmed it and are
working on a fix.  So we'll have it out in quantal's
nvidia-current-updates once it becomes available and passes testing.

For precise, it probably makes sense to just skip inclusion of 304.51
for nvidia-current-updates, and wait for the fix.  SRU policy applies
here, and that tends to strongly avoid updating things if there are
known regressions such as we have in this case.

But, many precise users probably don't use Unity's autohide feature and
would like 304.51 to fix other bugs, and don't want to wait for the next
update.  We are shipping it in the x-updates PPA[2], and would encourage
these users to install from there.

 Already done.  :-) Use the nvidia-current-updates package, which tracks
 the latest stable nvidia driver, and currently is providing 304.43.

 Do you have a URL for viewing the issue number 1060346, or is that an
 internal bug tracker number?  If the latter, is there a forum or mailing
 list post from NVIDIA referencing that, which we could refer to?

 Having a Launchpad bug report to follow this would be helpful.  The most
 useful way to file this bug would be to reproduce the crash, and then on
 the crashed system file the bug via 'ubuntu-bug xorg', which will
 collect all the log and config files we need.  Then also reference any
 and all background material (steps to reproduce, external bug #'s, forum
 discussions, etc.)  Elaborating on any/all testing activity you've done
 can also be invaluable.

 Hi Bryce,
 
 Unfortunately 1060346 is an internal bug tracking ID of NVIDIA and I also
 have no access to their bug tracker.
 In addition to that I can't use easily 'ubuntu-bug xorg' as apport is
 disabled on our company computers.
 I also don't know if it would be so helpful if I would submit that report
 as we build our own NVIDIA packages (based on X updates packages).

This is good info, can you paste it into a bug report?  If you can't use
ubuntu-bug, you can file it manually at 

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates/+filebug

It's helpful if you can file the bug report, because then we can contact
you for information or to let you know when it's fixed.

 Thus I try to give as much details here:

 Steps to reproduce the issue:
 1) Configure one monitor in portrait orientation
 2) xset dpms force standby
 3) Press a key or move the mouse so that the monitors leave standby
 4) Xorg crash
 
 I've also attached my Xorg.0.log.old after a crash.
 Please note that we were able reproduce this behavior on all release
 drivers between 304.43 and 304.51. This might be an issue in earlier 3xx.xx
 drivers too.
 I hope this helps already a bit... If you need more details please let me
 know.
 
 Best,
 
 Michael
 
 PS: Wish you a nice weekend...

   Hi Byrce,
  
   Thanks for the great explanation and I agree that it makes sense this
  way.
   Please note that we've seen another bug with 304.43 and later (but might
   affect also earlier 304.x driver versions) on Precise that cause X server
   crashes under certain circumstances.
   The circumstances are:
   * Multi-monitor setup
   * At least one screen is in portrait orientation
   * X server crashes once monitors should leave standby
   * Disabling DPMS prevents the X server crashes
  
   NVIDIA has confirmed this issue last week and they are working on a fix.
   They are tracking the issue under number 1060346. There is no Launchpad
  bug
   for this issue.
 
  Thanks for letting me know about this Michael.
