Same Problem here on a Lenovo T61p: 2.6.28-15-generic #52-Ubuntu SMP Wed Sep 9 10:48:52 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I installed latest nvidia driver via "NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.36-pkg2.run": NVIDIA Driver Version: 185.18.36 lspci excerpt: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 570M (rev a1) 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection (rev 61) ---------- Since Ubuntu 8.10 I get periodically hard locks with blinking caps lock during work on a docking station. I could isolate the appearance of the hard lock being in conjunction with a two monitor setup (In docking mode) and strong wireless network activity. When I work with two monitors - both (Thinkpad display and an external LCD) 1920x1200 resolution - and listen to internet radio its like rusian roulette and thus a show-stopper for productive work. I use NVIDIA X Server Setting Application to conveniently detect and apply a clone setup for the second display. When I work on my thinkpad without external Monitor it works stable. I cannot remember having any hard locks without having a multi monitor setup. Thus I also decided to try the latest nvidia driver, which improved the 2D appearance but did not solve the hard lock problems. Please let me know how I could help to solve this annoying issue. In the meantime I hope that it will be solved in Karmic. all the best, cue -- Thinkpad T61p hardlock flashing caps lock https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300693 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
