Comment 120 for bug 1321623

I have capitulated and installed the nvidia driver. I'll take me about a week of tinkering to get the third monitor working properly now once I put the card back in... I remember the fight I had last time I switched to this driver (which again I only did because nouveau kept crashing) in Debian. It was only when I tried upgrading to "testing" so that I could get something vaguely resembling a modern Linux installation that the whole X system went belly up, especially the nvidia driver, that I reinstalled Ubuntu and switched to nouveau again in the hope that this massive bug had been cured. Alas not though, and so back to nvidia I go. Ho hum.
