System freezes during usage after installed nvidia driver

[Patrick Eigensatz]

Binary package hint: xorg

I installed nvidia-current[recommended] on my Kubuntu-11.04 notebook last week.
Since then, my Laptop hangs sometimes doing
simple operations like maximizing windows, moving windows, ....

I can move the mouse - it's not very fluently - and the sound is still available.

As I could detect in the logfiles,
the driver is installed but not in usage:

 xorg:nvidia_173 - Beschleunigter Grafiktreiber von NVIDIA (Proprietär, Deaktiviert, Nicht in Benutzung)
 xorg:nvidia_current - Beschleunigter Grafiktreiber von NVIDIA (Proprietär, Aktiviert, Nicht in Benutzung)

translated:
 xorg:nvidia_173 - accelerated graphic driver from NVIDIA (Proprietaery, not activated, not in usage)
 xorg:nvidia_current - accelerated graphic driver from NVIDIA (Proprietaery, not activated, not in usage)

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