256.44 X freezes
256.44 seem to have a regression, many archlinux users have reverted to 256.35 to avoid X freezes:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=102202 I had some X freezes on my GT 240, i think they have happened when i have had vdpau working (mplayer or mythtv) and switching to firefox. I have not had any freezes on my GTX 460 but i dont use vdpau very often on that machine though. |

Re: 256.44 X freezes
I got a ubuntu setup for stable stuff, and a gentoo one for experimental stuff. Had a xorg freeze in gentoo, but ubuntu is rock stable. Might be newer kernel/xorg causing issues.

Re: 256.44 X freezes
Still, if 256.35 is stable, 256.44 may very well have a new bug.

Re: 256.44 X freezes
Hello
I got the same problem ... my system freezes for 5 or 6 seconds randomly.... I've had to disable all kde animations and options (windows, icons, wallpapers, etc) trying to avoid it, but it is happens sometimes ... I 've installed 256.35 again and the problem disappears ... uh uh .. something strange into v256.44 maybe ... Fedora 13, kernel 2.6.35, nvidia 256.44 , Quadro NVS 135M |

Re: 256.44 X freezes
GTX 470 with 256.44 driver and all latest packages from official Arch Linux repos, no testing. I have a 64-bit machine. No problems whatsoever.
Running Gnome and all sorts of compositing disabled. Also gaming is stable and much better framerates than the previous 256.35 driver! |

Re: 256.44 X freezes
Same problem here using different programs as firefox, games, openoffice.
I've a 64bit pc with Archlinux and a Geforce 240gt GPU. I have reinstalled 256.35 and solved for the moment. Code:
[marco@myhost ~]$ uname -a Linux myhost 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Aug 4 14:31:56 CEST 2010 x86_64 AMD Phenom(tm) II X4 965 Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux |

Re: 256.44 X freezes
i'm having the same issue. 256.44 will randomly lockup my machine. I have a GT 240, kernel 2.6.34.3, X.Org X Server 1.7.6, on Kubuntu 10.04.
I logged in remotely using SSH and noticed Xorg is using 100% CPU. Also, couldn't kill Xorg. |

Re: 256.44 X freezes
Thank you for reporting these stability problems. We believe we were able to reproduce a regression affecting (at least some) GT21x GPUs and have started looking into this problem.
