Sebastian has made some good suggestions for fixing this bug in Lucid, but the problem is that this driver is proprietary and closed-source. Without the source code we can't do anything other than rely on NVIDIA to backport the fix for this bug to older driver series. Their driver is basically a locked box and we can't even see inside to see what is happening. Checking http://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en- uk shows that NVIDIA have not yet backported this fix to the 195.xx driver series. I found a report that states that unofficial support for new X Server releases can be enabled by passing the X.Org Server the -ignoreABI argument to ignore the ABI differences. I'm not sure if this works in reverse (i.e. enabling the newer driver to support older X Server releases). I'm also unsure how one goes about passing this argument to the X Server - perhaps in the xorg.conf file? I don't have time to follow this up further now but I thought I'd mention it in case you can figure it out and it might help you. -- 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/986371 Title: Regression in nvidia-graphics-drivers causes freezes in combination with gnome-screensaver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/986371/+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
