[Bug 728745] Re: [nvidia, 7300, 7400] display freeze when using unity desktop

 

1. I just tried the  nvidia-current drivers from repository. They don't
work for me, either. To install the 275* drivers you have to get rid of
the Ubuntu installed nvidia-current package. I used dpkg -P nvidia-
current... probably not a good idea.

2. Sorry to report that I am wrong, this isn't really a fix. After all
this messing around, all that happens now is Ubuntu silently defaults to
unity-2d, which I mistook for regular (3d) unity. While this is an
improvement over locking up the system, I don't call this a good fix.

Current unity_support_test -p results:

OpenGL vendor string:   Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string:  2.1 Mesa 7.10.2

Not software rendered:    no
Not blacklisted:          yes
GLX fbconfig:             yes
GLX texture from pixmap:  no
GL npot or rect textures: yes
GL vertex program:        yes
GL fragment program:      yes
GL vertex buffer object:  yes
GL framebuffer object:    yes
GL version is 1.4+:       yes

Unity supported:          no
