Thanks for your report.
The freeze you reported originally was probably cause d by the ABI
change to X 1.10. There has been a short period of time during which the
driver and X were out of sync, that's why the update fixed it.
About the Unity unstability, do you have accessibility enabled on your system ?
To check this open the accessibility preferences dialog:
* With Unity click on the top-right 'Power' icon, select 'System settings'
then 'Assistive technologies'
* With classic desktop: Click on the top left icon, select
'System/Preferences/Assistive technologies'
And check that none of the checkbox is checked.
If assistive technologies is not enabled and you are experiencing the
Unity freeze with Alt+tab or other action could you please file a new
report against Unity with the command: ubuntu-bug unity
About the performance issue, is it just that the rendering of glxgears
being stall or the performance being bad ? If so, what performances do
you usually get with this system and what is the degradation compared to
a previous version of the driver ?
