The bug is in the nvidia drivers and actually happens on windows too with newer drivers.
Currently uninstalled nvidia drivers entirely and trying out nouveau (xserver-xorg-video-nouveau). Has worked stable for a month. I don't know how the performance is affected, but seldomly use 3D anyway. -- 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/890793 Title: HP Compaq 8710w Nvidia Quadro FX6000M hangs with Ubuntu 11.10 and nvidia-current drivers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/890793/+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
