** Summary changed:
- nvidia 180.44 highly unstable
+ Jaunty X highly unstable
** Description changed:
+ At first I thought that it was an nvidia driver issue, but I've now
+ tested a number of the drivers, and still see failures. Having come
+ across Bug 328035, I'm wondering if there isn't a problem in X, not in
+ the driver. Running Intrepid with the very same driver (185.19,
+ currently) is rock solid, whereas Jaunty locks up.

I had installed nvidia 180.44 via apt when it was posted, and over the
period of time since had absolutely awful issues with stability. The
system would freeze multiple times a day, sometimes with the "blinking
keyboard" symptom, and would require a hard power-cycle.
I recently installed 185.19 (from PPA), and it has been far more stable.
+ [edit: only seemed so ... still has the problem on Jaunty, but not on
+ Intrepd]
Has anyone else been seeing stability issues with 180.44? With Jaunty
release coming up shortly, I'm concerned about this issue; we need a
stable nvidia driver.
My system: Thinkpad T61p 6457-7WU.
