Comment 5 for bug 1321623

I started having this issue after installing the last NVIDIA driver (the one recommended by LM17, specifically nvidia-331 by the moment I write this), I just then installed the nvidia-304 (all of this via the Driver Manager) and after 1-2 days X-Server stopped working, I manage to modify the xorg.conf file and it worked but (cinammon in my case) was just not loading properly and constanly crashing, after that I installed the old xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver and everything is going OK by the moment, I believe this is something related with the nvidia-331 driver, I haven't installed it manually to see if the same issue occurs maybe I will later.
