After upgrading to 14.04 I also have this flickering problem again. It seems that the old line in options.conf: options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" NVreg_Mobile=3 NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=0
is not read anymore (I found this somewhere in the net and it solved the issue on 13.10). Using modprobe --resolve-alias nvidia I found the correct driver module name which in my case is nvidia_331 When changing the module name to nvidia_331 in options.conf X doesn't start anymore. When removing the NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles option X is starting again, but doesn't solve the problem. I don't know if this is helpful -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310633 Title: [Acer Aspire X1300] Mouse and eventually keyboard freeze To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1310633/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
