G210 & VDPAU = Random freezes of Xorg

Hello,

My computer is mainly use for video watching as HTPC. OS is ubuntu up-to-date & i use VDR.
I have 3 DVB cards : 2 DVB-S2 & 1 DVB-T.
Since i changed my graphic card from 8400GS to G210, i have random freezes of xorg. I can access my system through ssh. When the system freezes, "top" through ssh shows xorg using 100% of CPU. It happens whatever driver version i use, but seems more stable with beta 270.26.

I've remarked that the G210 shares IRQ with one of my DVB-S2 card.

Code:

16: 4149083 85 IO-APIC-fasteoi uhci_hcd:usb3, saa7146 (0), nvidia

I've attach a bug report generated just after the system freeze.

Thx for your help...

No, there are LOADS of users with the freezes.. Just search the forum! No solution yet unfortunately :(

It's not just you. I've had this issue since Sept. I just don't have the desire anymore to keep posting and submitting bug reports when Nvidia is either unwilling or unable to fix the problem. I can't imagine a bug like this in their Windows driver would last 6+ months. It's a shame.
