Short update in 2013 on this issue. With : - Up-to-date precise - "current-updated" nvidia-drivers - UNITY_FORCE_START=1 to /etc/environment - Geforce Go 7400 on a laptop
I experience no freeze anymore (only few hours of use, but it seems to work). I'm readily available if you need to make me execute some commands to pinpoint exact pb or root cause...You would have to drive me through it though. I'm now a happy unity user, for this was a blocking issue for me (ubuntu-2d not a long term bet, as for say). sudo lshw -class display *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: G72M [GeForce Go 7400] vendor: nVidia Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 version: a1 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0 resources: irq:16 memory:d1000000-d1ffffff memory:b0000000-bfffffff(prefetchable) memory:d0000000-d0ffffff -- 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
