@brigham, I have used nvidia drivers with my system (8600 GT) for a few years without problems but since ubuntu 12.04 (i.e. nvidia v295.33, v295.40, v295.49, v295.53, v302.07, v302.11, v302.17?), I suffer an xorg segmentation fault within a hour or two of booting when using nvidia driver (and that is tried with all these versions with and without xorg- edgers ppa enabled). See https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/973096. Hence that is why I am now running nouveau. Note I have run nouveau with Unity 3D fine since 12.04 release except only recently when these nouveau lockups started (could be around the release of skype 4, or that new xorg-edgers ppa kernel?). Also, note I mainly use Gnome Shell (all day every day) and have never seen this freeze or any other problems. Gnome Shell is a 3D desktop also so seems Compiz + nouveau related?
