Title:
  10de:064c Ubuntu gnome freeze after start - nvidia drivers

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  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.
