I agree with Alberto that it's most probably a kernel issue, because there are no problems in other distros (at least in Fedora and openSUSE). It could be a glitch in some of the ubuntu crazy kernel patches (I'd appreciate an option to turn them off)...
And finally, I have a question: Do you think there will be somebody going to fix this problem if this report is marked as invalid and all other related reports are marked as a duplicate? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661248 Title: Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT doesn't work with nvidia-current 260 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
