Peter, yes I was trying to install the nvidia-current from the quantal repository, which has the dependency on the newer X version.
A few weeks ago I updated the affected system to precise. The version of the nvidia-current package in precise had the same problems as the one in lucid. In fact it was even worse, because the system was freezing all the time. I guess this is due to Unity using a lot of GFX features. I then installed the nvidia-current from quantal (this is version 295.53-0ubuntu1). In precise this worked because the X server is newer. This fixed the problem for me. There are no freezes with this version of the Nvidia driver. So it really seems like Nvidia introduced a bug with the security fix, but they only fixed it in the 295-series of the driver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/986371 Title: Regression in nvidia-graphics-drivers causes freezes in combination with gnome-screensaver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/986371/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
