Binary package hint: nvidia-glx

After installing the drivers on nvidia 6100 graphics card system has become hangs when working in 3D mode (Compiz or any game), just hangs system when viewing the film. It happens on average after 5 minutes of work in 3D-mode.
If you listen to music or compilling a programme from sources in the console everything works normally.
Version drivers 100.xx. Other versions can not use because the virtual terminals does not work (tty1-6), seen only a black screen and no response from the system. (on version from repository 169.12 virtual terminals not work too)
The system Ubuntu 8.04 x86_64.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

1. Please include the output of the command "uname -a" in your next response. It should be one, long line of text which includes the exact kernel version you're running, as well as the CPU architecture.
2. Please run the command "dmesg > dmesg.log" after a fresh boot and attach the resulting file "dmesg.log" to this bug report.
3. Please run the command "sudo lspci -vvnn > lspci-vvnn.log" and attach the resulting file "lspci-vvnn.log" to this bug report.

Please attach your X server configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the "Attachment:" box below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let Xorg autodetect your display and video card? Please also attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt. Thanks in advance.

Thank you that spoke to my problem. The problem of the system hangs solved by updating .... aptitude upgrade =). But still spread the information requested. Until yesterday version was installed drivers 100.14.19-pkg2, now updated to 173.14.12-pkg2, everything works fine ... No problems have not yet emerged:)
Once again, thank you
p.s. sorry for my English
