I discovered this freeze / kernel panic has further reaching implications than I thought. Even using the 'nv' (open source Xorg driver), my system still randomly locked up while using X!
As a test, I regressed my kernel back to Gutsy 7.10's (2.6.22) and installed the latest Nvidia driver and compiled it. Everything has been working perfectly with no lockups. I think something between 2.6.22 and 2.6.24 broke on some systems, some bug introduced by 2.6.23 or 2.6.24 that interacts horribly with either the Nvidia chipset or something else. -- nvidia with compiz and with dual core freeze https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151382 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
