Think I have tried just about any solution proposed now without success.
I am running Kubuntu 11.10 AMD64 on an Alienware M15X with GTX260M
graphics card. Nvidia proprietary driver version 280.13.
The xorg.conf file posted did not set Nvidia PowerMizer to Prefer

on my m11x.

Bugs,
Meng, I had the same problem - your solution seemed to have solved it,
many thanks for posting it. Haven't tried on battery power yet, but I
haven't had a single crash since applying the trick and running on AC
power. Also, I have an external monitor plugged it - but before the fix,
I would
I no longer can use the 173 version of the NVidia driver without
severely impacting overall performance, and the latest (Lucid, version
no 195) is buggier than ever -- crashing on AC and battery.
Also, Meng, I tried using your trick but it broke my X display
completely. It couldn't find a screen.

Now I am able to stabilize the system with the following trick
$sudo nvidia-xconfig --registry-dwords=PowerMizerEnable=0x1;

The problem still exists. However something new is found.
Most of the time, the system is stable when an external monitor is
plugged in. I guess this is because the powermizer setting is switched
to max performance.

It's not a hardware issue, using 256.29 I don't get the issue at all
with the power cable in. Of course when you pull it out you end up on
battery saving speeds, and then I run into issues.
If it was a hardware issue related to cooling, running with power at max
speed would show the issue, and it

I seem to find a way out to stabilize the problem. Ubuntu 10.04 with

Hi Aagaard,
How did you get it stable with the stealth button? I am using an m15x.
Is it the one that looks like a UFO (second one from the right hand
side) or the one that looks like powermeter (first one from left hand
side)? I tried both but nothing seem to change in Linux.
Thanks.
--
It's the powermeter. It doesn't seem to do anything, but it does!
Turn it on (it'll turn a TINY bit brighter) and off again (or you'll
defenatly be unstable) and for me it's WAY better than it was atleast.
I've had some crashes, but only with the power cord out (which also adds
to instability :/
Vadim note that the workaround in post #58
http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142946 (and comment
#20) do work. A little annoying but it's stable for me.
Also bumping http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142946
might at some point get nvidia to look at the issue.

Same issue for me as well on my m15x with 260m. I even tried the latest
drivers from nvidia (195.36.15) on openSUSE 11.2, Mandriva 2010, and
Ubuntu 9.10 and no go. I guess I will just use windows until the issue
is resolved.

I seem to have fixed it by uninstalling, and downgrading the driver to
173. Not ideal, but stable :|.

My workaround on alienware m15x with gtx 260m is every startup/every

mode button on my alienware on and off. I'm guessing this is enough to
reset settings.

Similar thing has been with my Alienware M15x with GTX 260M. This mostly

Upgrading to Lucid was unsuccessful, so I did a full install of Alpha 2.
This appeared to fix this bug, only to replace it with another. Xorg
still crashes with no backtrace, but there is no segfault or general
protection on anything. I wouldn't mark this as closed, however,
because it may still
One more thing I should mention. It is still much more stable than
before, however, the instability will also occur on AC. Personally, I
feel that the overall stability is more helpful because I use this
laptop on battery a lot, but you may think differently.

I was doing a bit more research before a reinstall. ld-2.10.1.so is
provided by libc6, for what it's worth. I think I'll try a dist-upgrade
first. Maybe something got solved between Karmic and Lucid, and it
could be in the Alpha. If that doesn't work I'll try a full reinstall.

And by dist-upgrade I mean update-manager -d. :-P

be fixed there. Or maybe it'll be fixed by a reinstallation. I hope...

Ack, a reinstall? I'm still fiddling with the X server settings --- on
the assumption that it is related to underclocking (it also occurred
again whilst on charge). There is the Powermizer settings - but you
don't seem to able to customize the hertz rate of each performance
level.
It'd help if I
Nice to know I'm not alone in this problem, at least :-). I'm beginning
to think it might have something to do with underclocking the GPU when
on battery power. It's kind of a stretch, but that does explain why the
crash happens more often (or only, in your case) on battery.

I am looking for patterns in the crash, as I know random is a very...
vague term. I've noticed that the first crash takes about 20 to 30
minutes. All subsequent crashes occur in under 10 minutes. This
pattern lasts until a complete reboot.

The system appears to be much less stable when on battery power. Just a

Hi there, Onigion.
I doubt we will get much in the way of support, because we are being
mighty evil and using a proprietary driver (and I've seen the support
around these places; makes a dedicated supporter cringe), but alas, I am
