Christopher, I'll try to do what you ask when I get a chance; right now I'm 
using Ubuntu 10.04. 
I'll see if I can install the daily build of 12.04.

 Meanwhile, I did some more testing: I removed the NVidia driver using its 
"--uninstall" option.
 Then, I did

    modprobe nouveau

and the SYSTEM CRASHED INSTANTLY !!!

  It seems that the culprit is the video driver.

  One thing worth mentioning is that the main graphic card is an NVidia 8800GTS 
but there is also a 
Radeon graphic card embedded on the motherboard.
  Maybe that's where the problems come from.
