And that's true: tested and working. Hope for a fast update of nvidia- graphics-driver related package through synaptic. I installed the driver from NVIDIA binaries and am currently running GNOME 3 on Ubuntu 11.10; my video card is a NVIDIA GO 7300; can confirm nvidia driver 275.43 works properly (on my laptop). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/728745 Title: [nvidia, 7300, 7400] display freeze when using unity desktop To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nux/+bug/728745/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
