I'm having the same problem too. Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit NVIDIA Corporation G80 [GeForce 8800 GTX] (rev a2)
I was having problems with the 290.40 driver so i added x-swat ppa. I'm now on 295.53. With the 290.40 driver i couldn't log into either Unity or Gnome shell. 295.53 solved that problem but i'm having random xorg crashes that bring me to the log in screen. I have lost some work because of this. I have tried the open source driver but i have problems setting up my dual monitor set up with them so i am hoping that this problem gets fixed soon. Is this an issue with the drivers or is it a Ubuntu problem? Also, is anything currently happening with the problem? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/973096 Title: Nvidia driver causes xorg crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/973096/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
