Comment 56 for bug 973096

I'm another user affected by this with an 8800GT that has been rock solid stable in prior Ubuntu releases. I'm running the gnome shell fallback mode. The current, current-updates and x-swat repository versions all resulted in random crashes back to the login screen.

I've tried using the noveau driver instead but it increasingly loses its marbles over time. After about 8 hours of uptime it starts flickering random bits of random windows in random places on the screen, and gets progressively worse. It also hangs the X server inputs for a few seconds while doing this.

Consequently neither binary nor noveau driver provide a usable desktop.
