Comment 25 for bug 1033263

With a fresh install of 12.10, lifebook E8410 ( Nvidia 8400M G):
- default nouveau driver messes up screen (all kind of artifacts)
- latest closed source diver (from Nvidia 304.64 ) causes lockups both with unity and gnome-shell

Focusing on the nvidia driver problem:
- although system is not responding to any user interaction, I'm able to log-in via ssh and reboot (sometimes I'm even able to use ctrl+alt+f1, then ctrl+alt+del to reboot, but all the time I see the locked up graphical interface)
- also applications like skype, date-time... seem to crash often, but I'm not sure if these are related
