Having a latop with an nVidia Quadro FX 2800M and troubled when using
the proprietary driver. :(

I've been using the "Additional Drivers" tool to select the recommended "current" driver. The result were frequent (~every few hours) freezing screens or resets/restarts.
As this was no way to work, I've used the older binary driver of the "Additional Drivers" tool. The few days that I used that driver, everything seemed to be stable - although sometimes quite slow and not smooth (the CPU is an Core i7 so that behaviour is unexpected an unacceptable) during easy tasks like web surfing and moving a window around...
So I've added the PPA to use the latest nVidia binary driver.

The system seemed more stable now and it's fully responsive, as
expected.

But now I had a freezing screen again. :(

At least I could log in remotely now and see that Xorg used 100% CPU (of
one of the cores, that is) and I could save the log files that showed a
clear error now. (-> cf. attachments)
