Comment 184 for bug 1010794

Happens on my system as well. Ubuntu 12.10 with Nvidia 6400m G (Acer aspire 7520 laptop). Nvidia drivers not working properly (wrong screen resolution/ freezes/ double login (loop?!)) Because of problems with Nvidia 12.10 is only usable with Nouveau drivers, but I need to restart my desktop about 5 to 10 times a day due to artefacts that make programs rather useless. Looks like an old problem that was here before. Found also description of this problem related to Debian. Problem is not reproducable by starting certain programs.
