The nvidia-glx-new driver crashes the kernel on my T61P in both gutsy and feisty. It turns out it doesn't support my Quadro FX 570M hardware anyway. -- nvidia driver instantly crashes kernel - gutsy, nvidia-glx-new 1.0.9755 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129343 You received this bug

RichardNeill: I generally avoid giving out advice for hardware that uses binary only drivers due to interesting responses in the past. If you want to buy another NVIDIA i all I can say is Try before you buy, caveat emptor. -- nvidia driver instantly crashes kernel - gutsy, nvidia-glx-new

I totally agree - binary-blob hardware is a bad idea. But as far as I can see, there isn't a choice at the moment - there are no cards on the market which will fit a PCI-E slot, have 2 DVI connections, and which have free drivers. Have I missed one? I know about the Open Graphics Project, but

If I install the latest nvidia driver from nvidia's shell script, (http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_amd64_100.14.11.html) it works, and seems to be stable. At least I can run glxgears for a while. However, neither the nvidia driver nor the xorg nv one are usable: both cause the LCDs to

This is *sort* of a request for bug #120943, but not entirely. I find the following: - With either nvidia's latest, or nv driver, I get the dreadful strobing effect at 1600x1200. (800x600 is the highest that works OK). - With the VESA driver (at 1600x1200, or 800x600), I just get a blank
