Yeah, this driver is an issue for me too. Took me a while to figure out that it was it that was screwing with my system, because I had kept ticking the "proprietary drivers" box during installation.
The only difference between I can see between our situations is that my HP TouchSmart iq506 has the G988M [GeForce 9300M GS].
Also to note, my system does work for a very short amount of time after boot. I can even sometimes get to the point of loading up the "additional drivers" page, and switching back to the open source driver. But then it all freezes up.
