I am also affected by this exact same issue 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV44 [GeForce 7100 GS] (rev a1)
This card is used to drive two LCD screens for standard gnome shell configuration in 12.04 when i try using the normal nvidia-current package or the one from the ppa (with version 302.17) my desktop freezes. Last few times this has locked the whole machine meaning i needed to pull the plug to get the system back up. I have purged the nvidia-current package and now have LCD mirroring on my screens (not very useful for me). This did not happen before i upgraded to 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1011698 Title: Performance problems with Nvidia driver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/1011698/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
