[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 982710] Re: [regression] Nvidia 295.40 driver is extremely slow

2012-05-25 Thread Adam Porter
I have used Kubuntu on my Dell XPS M1330 laptop (NVIDIA GeForce 8400M) since 2008 with no problems. Immediately after upgrading from Oneiric to Precise I began having problems with X freezing at 100% CPU while playing video, usually with Firefox playing Flash in YouTube. The screen freezes comple

Public bug reported: This is likely a dupe of bug #1001007, but apport-collect says it's better to file a new bug, so here I go. If they are a dupe, it may not be just video playing that causes it, or just 3D usage, but maybe VDPAU or a combination thereof. I do use 3D compositing with KDM in K

Thanks for your reply, Andrew. So far 295.20 hasn't crashed, but the crashy drivers sometimes went longer without crashing, so no verdict yet. I will try the one you suggested after I decide on 295.20. On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 9:20 AM, Andrew M. <1005...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > If you're des

I don't think so. I don't have a Sandy Bridge system--not even close. And that bug has nothing to do with NVIDIA. And this bug only happened when the NVIDIA drivers were upgraded. That "nobody cared" IRQ message can be caused by other things. On Thursday, May 31, 2012, Kevin W. wrote: > @alphapa
