Bug Description
At first I thought that it was an nvidia driver issue, but I've now tested a number of the drivers, and still see failures. Having come across Bug 328035, I'm wondering if there isn't a problem in X, not in the driver. Running Intrepid with the very same driver (185.19, currently) is rock solid, whereas Jaunty locks up.
Original:
I had installed nvidia 180.44 via apt when it was posted, and over the period of time since had absolutely awful issues with stability. The system would freeze multiple times a day, sometimes with the "blinking keyboard" symptom, and would require a hard power-cycle.
I recently installed 185.19 (from PPA), and it has been far more stable. [edit: only seemed so ... still has the problem on Jaunty, but not on Intrepd]
Has anyone else been seeing stability issues with 180.44? With Jaunty release coming up shortly, I'm concerned about this issue; we need a stable nvidia driver.
My system: Thinkpad T61p 6457-7WU.

Hi noel-devtech,
Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log (and maybe Xorg.0.log.old) file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
