Hi all,

I'm running Ubuntu Linux 12.04, I'm using drivers 295.40 too and I've this graphic card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G92 [GeForce 8800 GS] (rev a2)

I'm also experiencing weird Xorg crashes, expecially while I try to watch videos. I've already reported the bug to Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...rs/+bug/986445

I'd like to be able to revert to an old (but more stable) driver. How can I do it?
I really don't care about security issues on this machine, unsless they're not remote security issues.

Could you please tell me how to install an older version of the driver? Thanks!
