Hello, I'm experiencing this problem as well with my Geforce 8500 GT on a standard ubuntu hardy 8.04 with Compiz enabled. When cpu/gpu are loaded enough the monitor blinks and everything but the mouse (the cursor still can be moved) is locked hard: the system seems to be responsive and a ctrl+alt+del can exit session. I've the "new" nvidia driver (169.12) installed through the envyng subsystem, I've tried to add the:
options nvidia_new NVreg_Mobile=1 NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" to the /etc/modprobe.d/options and /etc/modprobe.d/nvidia-kernel-nkc but the nvidia-settings still keeps telling me that Adaptive Clocking is enabled and Performance Level is 0. Isn't this module option supposed to DISABLE dynamic clocking and to raise to Performance Level 2? Is there a way I can check that those options are effectively passed to the module as soon as it's loaded into the kernel? Thank you. -- Occasional screen-wide "blink" when using opengl apps (compiz also) and Nvidia cards https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164589 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
