Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-glx-180
Hi,
I have a laptop DELL XPS 1530, configuration: Processor Inter Core 2 Duo
T8300 2.4 GHz 64bit, Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 128 MB, 3 GB
memory
Used program: Firefox 3.0
Distribution: Ubuntu 8.10
I installed new proprietary NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version
180) and I experienced problems with my Firefox 3.0 which freezes for 30
seconds to 1 minute at different times and websites, then continues
running. When I put full screen on you tube video, the effect for
opening window freezes in the midst of it and after a while unfreezes
and continues on running-the same problem when closing full screen. Also
the Firefox works slower than with NVIDIA driver version 177. Sometimes
Firefox freezes at closing the application, after about 30 seconds the
program finally closes. When returned back to NVIDIA graphics driver
version 177 named problems disappeared and Firefox works faster.
The problem is definitively in NVIDIA graphics driver version 180
