It sort of sounds like this issue is has something to do with a mismatch between the versions of the binary driver and the kernel, which may be due to installation order. This may be why installing a new version or performing an upgrade or switching to a different kind of kernel seems to make the issue disappear, only to reappear later. But this is just a gut guess.
It would be worthwhile if people experiencing this problem could track the order of kernel and binary drivers they install, and the versions used. -- nvidia-glx-legacy driver crashes xorg on startup (TV-Out) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89290 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
