FWIW, I heard the problem is that the installers/upgraders will happily install these broken drivers, leaving your computer unable to fully boot. If the drivers just refused to install, there would be less of an issue. I'm lucky enough to have a card that uses the -current driver, but I saw a few folks on IRC with crashed xorg due to nvidia drivers.
I remember hearing about a fall back mechanism, that would kick in the nouveau driver, but I then I saw a bug report where it seemed that the fallback for nvidia was abandoned. Just wanted to bring that up, just in case someone was relying upon that to manage these nvidia issues. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
