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 Maximum Performance here. When changing from Adaptive to Prefer Maximum Performance it does seem more stable, but xserver crashes do still occur anyway. The laptop seems stable when power cable is plugged in, I have only seen crashes when it is on battery power (consitent with multiple other users around the net). I have tried setting grub parameter as suggested in this forum thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11310026 It did nothing for me. Any suggestions are highly appreciated. Can anyone report a success story with this laptop? As it is not my laptop, hack involving swithcing back and forth to VT is unfortunately not an option. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507233 Title: NVIDIA - Xorg crashes (empty backtrace) with segfault OR "general protection" in ld-2.10.1.so To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-180/+bug/507233/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
