Xorg freeze

[Luiz Angelo Daros de Luca]

Binary package hint: xorg

Nvidia module in kubuntu 11.04 is crashing the system. I still get access through ssh.
This is a Compal laptop using a dedicated NVidia GeForce 9600M GT.

The dmesg output tell it all:

The crash is random. Sometimes it freezes the kernel when I try to restart X (after the problem) while others not. I reproduced it more than once just pressing maximize button several times in konsole.

For now, I disabled kde effects and I'm getting a better stability.

My previous 10.10 didn't ever had a problem with X in this same machine.

That version is no more supported; please open a new bug report if the actual archive found version also has the same issue.
