Hi Rainer, So the issue is that the x driver in 12.10 was updated, but the nvidia driver does not support it yet. Until it's resolved, I suggest trying the opensource version, nouveau. First make sure the driver is installed:
> dpkg -l | grep nouveau If nothing returns, run 'sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video- nouveau'. Next, add the following entry to /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "nouveau" EndSection If you don't have the file, create it using 'sudo' and if it exists, but has "nvidia" listed, comment that line out with a "#" mark. -- 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/1037173 Title: Xorg crashed with SIGABRT in FreeResource() To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1037173/+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
