Public bug reported:
On my laptop, Acer Aspire 7520 with a Geforce 8400m G graphics card I
can't get the nvidia driver working correctly: this driver crashes my
system (brings it to a total freeze, not abililty to start another
session or reboot) totally at least 3 times a day.
With Nouveau drivers it seems to work fine, but after some time, I get
artefacts in programs, on the desktop and the unity bar. It gets
unusable very fast.
Restarting X solves the problem, but causes (obviously) a restart of all
running apps.
I have added x-edgers ppa instead of the regular source, but this brings
only a very slight improvement (at least so it seems),
Well, I have includes a screenshot of my messed up desktop.
I have seen that this was a problem in the past as well (found some bug
reports for plain vanilla debian).
