Public bug reported:

Nouveau is unstable - sometimes is freezing, i tried to use current
proprietary drivers.

But after login - monitor is flickering and freezing.

Ubuntu GNOME 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) Release  - clean install.


I used Gentoo before, and this line helped for me, to solve my problem:
options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileMode=432 NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=27 NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=1 NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"

But in Ubuntu, it doesn't help.

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


This doesn't help:

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"


It's blocking - nouveau is unstable, nvidia drivers is totaly unstable.
3 min to freeze.

Nouveau bug is reported there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-nouveau/+bug/1242767
but still unasigned

How to reproduce: Use Ubuntu and Nvidia proprietary drivers. The 3 min
to freeze.

There is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NX7lQ5oDYo
As you can see, 3 min and PC is not responding. I can only move by mouse - that's all.
