I got tired of nouveau freezing my desktop (at least I assume that's what it was, maybe it's just compiz itself) and downgraded libcairo2 to the "maverick-updates" version ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick- updates/libcairo2 ). It's been about an hour and my computer hasn't exploded yet. I'm using the proprietary Nvidia driver with an onboard 6150SE.
I have 2gb RAM, and contrary to other opinions, it affected my system very noticeably and forced much swapping whereas none was needed before. I have a 2.5Ghz dual core (albeit a bit dated) and programs that normally open instantly were, well, not. Hope this gets fixed soon! -- 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/725434 Title: Nvidia drivers lead to extra memory usage for each process using libGL _______________________________________________ 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
