There is a new nvidia driver out now. Version 1.0-8774. This doesn't appear to fix what we need, however. The only hint of this is "Improved interaction with newer Linux kernels." as part of the list of changes, which is a tad vauge.
Can anyone confirm that this does not help us? -- [upstream] nvidia-glx doesn't restore state on NV35/NV36 cards. Causes random mess on screen or system hang. https://launchpad.net/bugs/32389 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
