For those wondering, Christopher (penalvch) had me create another report for this issue. Running quite well with kernel 3.2 for a week now and have switched to 3.4 2 days ago, still without any issues. Perhaps all effecting should mark my bug happening to you as well, we should turn up the heat! https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1258231 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1132121 Title: Nvidia driver garbles screen and lets the computer freeze completely Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am using the Nvidia driver version 295.40. Using the window switcher, the switcher is always displayed garbled. Using the window switcher multiple times led to a total freeze. The computer didn't even respond to ping again. After resetting and rebooting the computer, the dmesg log shows again the following messages: [ 682.234444] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0002 beef3097 00004497 00001a04 000ba528 00000002 [ 682.396275] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0002 beef3097 00004497 00001a04 000ba528 00000002 [ 682.446063] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0002 beef3097 00004497 00001a04 000ba528 00000002 [ 682.547012] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0002 beef3097 00004497 00001a04 000ba528 00000002 [ 682.620474] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0000 e0016100 0000008a 00000104 00008041 00000002 [ 682.622782] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 9, Channel 00000020 Instance 00000000 Intr 00100000 [ 682.647355] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 9, Channel 00000002 Instance 00000000 Intr 00100000 [ 682.747740] NVRM: Xid (0000:01:00): 13, 0002 beef3097 00004497 00001a04 000ba528 00000002 [ 684.747701] NVRM: os_schedule: Attempted to yield the CPU while in atomic or interrupt context [ 856.795061] NVRM: os_pci_init_handle: invalid context!
