Finally solved for Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome user
I have tested folowing drivers:
nvidia-current
nv,
nouveau,
nvidia closed:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-173.14.25-pkg1.run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.15-pkg1.run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.24-pkg1.run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.31-pkg1.run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-256.53.run
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-260.19.04.run
with all these drivers I experienced minor ( artifacts only, artifacts and X crash ) or major problems ( crash of Xserver before login to gnome ).
I was lucky to get frequent traces in logs - minor crashes starts with the following statement in Xorg.0.log
[mi] EQ overflowing. The server is probably stuck in an infinite loop.
2 Weeks lost, with approx 50 X crashes. Linux are you Windows ME clone?
IT IS NOT ANY DRIVER FAULT!
The problem was solved by downgrading gdm package
from: 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu3
to: gdm 2.30.0-0ubuntu5
The last one is a good one!
BEWARE OF gdm 2.30.2.is.2.30.0-0ubuntu3 !!! Ticking Time bomb!
Best regards,
