I don't need performance, but stability is important. I'll try the
nouveau driver.

If you're using Oneiric, the only thing you need to do is remove the
nvidia_173 or nvidia_173_updates driver.
The command jockey-text -l will give you what supplementary drivers are
installed, which you can remove with e.g. :
jockey-text -d xorg:nvidia_173
Remove all activated, xorg-prefixed
nvidia-173 is a special legacy driver, which doesn't cover your 8800M
GTS card. Hence don't expect performance... Better try nouveau instead !
I have Oneiric x86_64 too and experience similar problems with my 8800M
GTX, i.e. systematic X freeze shortly after startup. Logging in doesn't
matter

To manage
I did a quick attempt to use an older nvidia driver by modifying
/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-graphic-drivers.conf like so:
#blacklist nvidia-173
#alias nvidia nvidia_current
blacklist nvidia_current
alias nvidia nvidia-173
But this did not work due to API version conflicts with the X driver:
[
A workaround seems to be to remove nvidia-current and force
reinstallation of nvidia-173, so everything gets recompiled with the
right API
apt-get remove nvidia-current
apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-173
and then reboot. So far X has been working for five minutes, which is
already five
Moving to nvidia-current, since this appears to be a driver bug.
** Package changed: xorg-server (Ubuntu) = nvidia-graphics-drivers
