You're welcome. And thanks for adding your line Martin, it is in fact much simpler and better! :) Yes, sadly Ubuntu 8.10 is affected by this plague too, and I suspect this will go on until nVidia drivers are rewritten with a much less intrusive behaviour in mind. I can't say that this is THE solution to all freeze problems with nVidia and Compiz, but it surely reduced the freezes to a minimum. Things got even better since I removed the two "CPU Frequency" applets I was keeping in my system panel (one for each CPU), and I suspect that the continuous polling from them was having negative effects on system stability. BTW, I found back the reference pages which were reported in the Italian forum thread I read back then, and I'd like to quote them:

Hope this will be of help to anyone who wants to understand more about this issue! hirumono -- nvidia with compiz and with dual core freeze https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151382 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
