Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nvidia-180-kernel-source
Recently nvidia-180 and what I presume was a set of updated xorg and/or
window managers or the kernel security fix I heard about in passing
seems to have caused the 180 driver to work rather poorly (basically
garbage).
I believe that Ubuntu as a whole should approach Nvidia so that release
candidate drivers are available as an option in Ubuntu's package
archives for testing versions of Ubuntu.
The main reason I say this is that flash crashes, there is noticeable
window-lag, and XV does not work on my 8400M graphics chipset under the
NV driver. It's like I happen to have a fast computer from 7-8 years
ago that's fully loaded with ram; instead of a laptop only a little over
a year old.
A much more valid point however, how will we possibly know what Xorg 1.6
breaks or reveals as flaws unless the major players make drivers of near
final quality available?
