Hi there! My name is Jaime de Paula and I write from Brazil. I'm using
Ubuntu 16.04 and have a GeForce 7025/ nForce 630a NVIDIA video card
motherboard integrated. When I use Ubuntu with the Unity window manager
and the NVIDIA legacy binary driver - version 304.137 (open source) the
screen have some long delays and lots of freezes screen that are often
unrecoverable. If I choose Nouveau display driver the performance is
much better (everything works fast), but after some minutes the screen
freezes and I have to reset the computer manually. Could you tell me if
there's a solution for me? Could I have an older driver (because it
used to be great until Ubuntu 12.04)? For now I can't pay for another
video card. If I choose to work with another window manager
(Enlightenment, Cinnamon, etc...) it works perfectly, and so I guess
it's an incompatibility between Unity and my video card. But Unity is
better for me.
I think it would be difficult to troubleshoot issues after this time.
There are more cards that have problems somewhere, ie. I have an older
GT something card that will work fine in Cinnamon as long as I use
Nouveau, but it will crash Cinnamon when I use the legacy nVidia, and it
creates weird diagonal tearing in KDE.
In these cases getting a cheap second hand card if at all possible is
probably the more cost effective (in terms of time) way to approach a
solution.
For instance I never had issues with a GT 640.
I can find cards as cheap as 15 euros where I live, such as GT 610.
But avoid Asus EN7600GS Silent ;-).
Well anyway I don't think you will find any other solace.
Not unless you want to be the person that puts lots of time into bug
reporting or solving the issue and I don't think that's worth it.
Regards.
