I have not seen any instability issues with the new beta driver 260.19.06 in my maverick 64-bit setup. The sluggishness issue is completely gone and also gnome-shell works fluently now.
Please pay attention to that Brandon Snider has uploaded this new beta driver (nvidia-current) in X Updates PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates It is built both against lucid and maverick. Note also that the X updates lucid build cannot be installed on maverick. The lucid package nvidia-current provides virtual package xserver-xorg-video-6, which would break mavericks xserver 1.9. The maverick package nvidia-current provides virtual package xserver-xorg-video-8, suitable for xserver 1.9. Note also, that this is the way it should be. -- nvidia 256.53 xorg-server 1.9.0 performance regression with antialiased text https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/629910 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers 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
