scrub my comment #11. i have NOT tested the new driver - the build in the graphics-drivers ppa doesn't insmod on 16.04 with kernel 4.4 and my system fell back to nouveau without me realising. i will test again when a working build is available.
as for switching to nvidia-304 (instead of -updates), this did not resolve the problem for me. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1579501 Title: graphics distorted, lightdm restarting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates/+bug/1579501/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
