I'm really impressed by the nouveau driver, most things are actually working now, even hardware acceleration. The only problem I have with it though that performance is not that great, at least not compared to the nvidia driver, which on this older laptop does make a big difference.
I also tried the 173 driver and it works, but performance is not so good either. Moreover if I suspend or switch to text terminals and then back to xorg it only shows garbage until I somehow force a redraw (which is not always possible). That's why I'm still hoping for nvidia to fix their current driver, at least until the performance of the nouveau driver is better. -- 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/728745 Title: [nvidia, 7300, 7400] display freeze when using unity desktop _______________________________________________ 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
