This problem still persists after yesterdays release so I can't upgrade to Natty at this time without losing support for my nVidia card. What extra information do I need to give?
I've done some more messing about to see if I can fix the problem. I added the x-swat ppa to my Maverick system to see if the problem exists in Maverick with the latests driver and I got the same result when upgrading the nvidia-current driver: The xserver crashes and the system is completely unresponsive after the driver is loaded. I looked at the latest changelog for the driver which is installed in Natty http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-amd64-270.41.06-driver.html and it says: Fixed a bug that caused some GPUs to stop responding when the X Server was started. All GPUs are susceptible, but the failure was primarily seen on GF104 and GF106 boards. This sounds like the problem I am having, but the driver doesn't fix the bug for me?! I'd really like to use Natty, so any help is appreciated.
