Hi.

I have 8400M GS and it does not work, there is a crash on-boot.

Messages on boot:

Other problem (which I do not know where to send) is that when I log off, the screen is black and it's impossible to do ANYTHING (even alt-ctrl-f1) - this is with 'nv', as 'nvidia' does not work. It have been working before the upgrade. It's some kind of freeze... maybe unsuccessful hibernate attempt? (it also happens when I close my notebook's cover)
