I am experiencing the problem described. I started experiencing the problem after switching to 9.10 (don't know if i were using the 180 or 185-driver), i have tried upgrading to the 190.42-driver from the nvidia website, but i still have this problem. I also noticed some other bugs:
* Pixels are flickering on random when using my default resolution of 1680x1050, and with this resolution it takes approximately 10 minutes until the screen starts flashing, the mouse locks up and finally the system locks up leaving my screen is half black and half gnome-panel colored. * When using a lower resolution, like 1440x900, i experience no flickering pixels, and it takes _much_ longer for my system to crash, though it still does. * When everything is locked up half black and half panel colored, sometimes, the desktop as it were when everything froze will appear while moving the mouse (though the cursor or anything else will not respond) * I do not experience this problem without the nvidia driver, but then my system instead fails to resume from suspend (perhaps not directly relevant for this bug) -- screen starts flashing and freezes or crashes X https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379228 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
