** Description changed:

  In Saucy, nouveau is unstable - sometimes is freezing, i tried to use current proprietary drivers. But after login - monitor is flickering and freezing. A video: There is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NX7lQ5oDYo . I used Gentoo before, and this line helped for me, to solve my problem but in Ubuntu, it doesn't help:
  options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileMode=432 NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=27 NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=1 NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"
  
  This doesn't help:
  me@ubuntu-vbi:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/options
  #Fix for nvidia flickering - (K)ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10
  options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords='PerfLevelSrc=0x2222'
  options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=1
  
  me@ubuntu-vbi:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/options
  options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileMode=432 NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=27 NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=1 NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Use nouveau.
