Comment 288 for bug 973096

Update: finally have a usable desktop with the 304.51 driver. its been about 2 full weeks running great with no hiccups after installing software or updates via the ubuntu software center or update manager. only thing ive noticed is that the random log outs return if i use my laptop on battery. this isnt such a big deal as my laptop is almost 2 years old and only lasts a little over an hour on battery anyway so when im doing serious work my laptop is always plugged in. but again when plugged in it works flawlessly!
