[Bug 1310551] Re: NVIDIA proprietary driver 331.38 from package nvidia-331 on Xubuntu 14.04 causes display to hang
The freeze on the boot splash screen happens also with the latest nvidia
drivers from xorg-edgers (343.22). It also worked fine for a few months
and if I remember correctly it started to do it after an Ubuntu software
update. I don't know which one caused it though.

Title:
NVIDIA proprietary driver 331.38 from package nvidia-331 on Xubuntu
14.04 causes display to hang
Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-331” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
On 14.04 I am getting an issue on my Thinkpad T520 where running the
"proprietary,tested" 331.38 driver causes my display to hang. It seems
to stay that way until I switch to tty6 with ctrl+alt+f6 and then back
to tty7 which has the display, this causes it to un-hang. This then
happens back and forth. I am not sure but it might be triggered by
clicking things, opening windows and such. The problem disappears when
switching back to the open source driver.
Should I try an even newer driver from nvidia, or is there any more
information you need for troubleshooting?
