nvidia-173 drivers are not compatible with Xorg (ABI to be precise) version
released in 12.04.
So I stick with 11.10 version of Xorg. I had to make the following changes to
backport Xorg:
In /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main
deb-src http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric main
In /etc/apt/preferences:
Package: xserver-xorg*
Pin: release a=oneiric
Pin-Priority: 1050
Note related to nvidia-173 on Ubuntu 12.04:
I'm using old hardware with nvidia-173 drivers and I don't like the fact
"composite" is mandatory to use Unity correctly (very laggy) I had to force
composite to switch it "off" to avoid laggy windows by modifying
/etc/X11/xorg.conf:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
