I am encountering input problems with the Nvidia ---185 driver on my
laptop. The symptoms are not exactly like those described by others on
this thread.
The mouse moves the graphics cursor, but pressing a mouse button has no
effect.
Most keyboard input still works. For example to shutdown an

@ Zugol: Thanks, I tried but with the kernel you mention but I only get
a blank screen with a blinking cursor with that one.
This is what I did instead:
- upgraded the kernel to 2.6.31-xx from the Karmic repsitory
- added the following kernel boot parameters to /boot/grub/menu.lst:
In my case, the things I have to do to fix this bug was :
- install 3 packages from kernel team required for my system
linux-headers-2.6.30-02063004-generic_2.6.30-02063004_i386.deb
linux-headers-2.6.30-02063004_2.6.30-02063004_all.deb
Well, on my system, the Nvidia 185-driver doesn't solve aything. I'm running an
AMD64 dual core system with Nvidia 6600 256 MB graphics card. Did a whole bunch
of tweaks I found here and there:
- disabled SLI in Xorg.conf
- installed and activated irqbalance
- set irq settings to manual in the
Nobody has complained again for this bug, also it seems like version 185
of the nvidia drivers fixed this bug for me whatever it was the reason.
Since nobody have reported the opposite I think that release 185 of Nvidia
drivers already fixed this bug for everyone.
Thanks for your time!

How can I best/safely test this? Add the PPA to my software repos then
use the Hardware Drivers utility to select it? Should that work OK?

I did it that way, however Brandon just added yesterday the nvidia
driver 190 to his repo (leaked pre-beta version) so it may conflict with
some libraries, in special libxine-vdpau since he is compiling for vdpau
testing purposes, so i would better use synaptic or aptitude to install
the 185
I've posted a new version of the -nvidia driver to our xorg-edgers PPA,
would you mind testing it either on Jaunty or Karmic and see if it

Found the possible cause but I'm not sure what was the origin of the
problem so far. A bumped capacitor seems to have been triggering the bug
but I am not sure if some faulty driver or something lead to the
capacitor fail.

Bug triggered again with driver 173, however I had the largest uptime in
many days... actually 11 days of uptime with everything working good:
Flash, flash video (hd), hd video with mplayer, vlc, compiz, openoffice,
etc.
It seems like if it is a memory leak it is less evident in 170
releases...
I tried Zero's solution of rolling back to the 173 version of the NVidia
Driver using the Hardware Drivers configurator. This fixed my problem.
The symptoms I was having as follows:
Configuration/Environment:
1. Compiz
2. Emeral Theme Decorator
3. Cube Rotation, Reflection, and

The same for me with GeForce 7300 LE 512 mb and 180 driver.
Triggering the bug depends from use: playing many flash video freezes tha
manchine in a few seconds, while a moderated use seems not to tringger the bug
(at least for some hours).
Going back to the 173 driver solved the problem.
