The latest driver from nvidia which seems to be the superset of supported drivers as 331.89 is 340.24. Using this new driver I have not yet had a freeze. Will follow up tonight if issue is resolved.
Install from this source: http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-the- nvidia-340-24-driver-on-ubuntu-14-04-ubuntu-13-10-ubuntu-12-04-and- derivative-systems/ I attempted a manual install from nvidia first by downloading the driver here: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/76884/en-us I was able to get the driver to install (manual installation) however had low graphics issues and could not get the unity launcher to show, no tool bar and the right click didn't work either. After reverting my system and installing the PPA worked perfectly. I strongly recommend using the PPA (fist link over manual installation). Ensure that this PPA supports your graphics by checking the nvida link. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nvidia-prime in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1220426 Title: [nvidia-prime]Freeze while using touchpad Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-319” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “nvidia-prime” package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: I'm using an Optimus laptop (Asus N43SL) nvidia-prime is installed, so my nvidia dedicated graphics card (GT 540m) is in use. Once in a while, my screen will freeze, only when I use my touchpad. This does not happen with my USB mouse. This does not happen either when I uninstall nvidia-prime and use my intel integrated graphics (HD3000). I can temporarily solve the issue by doing a VT switch. In the attached Xorg.0.log, you can see "synaptics: ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad: touchpad found" each time I did a VT switch and regained control.
