Comment 27 for bug 980298

I noticed by looking at my logs and the changelog to the Nvidia-current in the repo that the day nvidia-current was updated and released on April 12, was the same day my nvidia crashed.

The change log with the changes are:
nvidia-graphics-drivers (295.40-0ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    - Added support for the following GPUs:
      o GeForce GT 635M
      o GeForce 610M
    - SECURITY UPDATE: privilege escalation via kernel
      memory access (LP: #959842).
    - Fixed a bug that caused DisplayPort devices to
      occasionally fail to turn back on after the system
      is resumed from suspend.
    - Added a ModeValidation X configuration option token,
      "AllowNon3DVisionModes", to allow modes that are not
      optimized for NVIDIA 3D Vision to be validated on 3D
      Vision monitors.

I'd like to hear from Alberto Milone.

In other news, this has ticked me off so much, 1) major graphics breakage days before a LTS release, lack of a reasonable fix, blaming NVIDIA, etc, that I am testing another Linux OS.
