[Bug 1378881] Re: nouveau video driver crashing X. Total freeze of computer 14.04.1
Switching to the 331.38 proprietary drivers from Nvidia seems to have
stopped the crashes. However this is not a long term solution as I
prefer free software and it pains me greatly to have to use non-free
software. I hope you can help me to use free software only.
Nvidia driver 331.38 works for me. No crashes
Nouveau driver does not work.
