Comment 160 for bug 973096

This bug has been around from 11.04 for me. I have Nvidia QuadroFX3800M in HP 8740w Mobile Workstation. I have basically given up on Ubuntu on my workstation. I have found this bug with all fresh installs and with all versions of Nvidia drivers from Ubuntu and Nvidia directly. OS has other stability issues without the Nvidia drivers (though these may be related). Instead of adding new features lets get this OS more stable. The Stability has never been as good as 9.10 in a long while. I am using a netbook with 10.04 that works amazingly well (though thers no Broadcom Xtal HD acceleration driversfor Ubuntu). Macs are beginning to look a lot more attractive and Ubuntu has such potential. :-(
