Having a latop with an nVidia Quadro FX 2800M and troubled when using
the proprietary driver. :(
I've been using the "Additional Drivers" tool to select the recommended
"current" driver. The result were frequent (~every few hours) freezing screens
or resets/restarts.
As this was no way to work, I've used the older binary driver of the
"Additional Drivers" tool. The few days that I used that driver, everything
seemed to be stable - although sometimes quite slow and not smooth (the CPU is
an Core i7 so that behaviour is unexpected an unacceptable) during easy tasks
like web surfing and moving a window around...
So I've added the PPA to use the latest nVidia binary driver.
The system seemed more stable now and it's fully responsive, as
expected.
But now I had a freezing screen again. :(
At least I could log in remotely now and see that Xorg used 100% CPU (of
one of the cores, that is) and I could save the log files that showed a
clear error now. (-> cf. attachments)
