The proprietary 270 driver seems to break composition of 7300 and 7200
series. That's why the screen seems to be freezed but the mouse pointer
is still movable and programs are running. It is reported by users of
other distributions (Gentoo) and XServer version 1.9 as well:

I guess we'll have to wait for nVidia to fix it (if they will). That's why we're all warned about proprietary drivers ...
While waiting for this I'll try to get the 260 working. Maybe they will, maybe not.


The symptoms with composition also explain why some cards are working with 173 (mine as well). I don't have some composite effects like alpha blur.
