Changed to "Major" since I think this could severely impact a small proportion of users, hope that's OK. It would be a shame if this persisted through to the Dapper release - please let me know if there's anything I can do to help debug this.

Ok, sounds like a bug in the nvidia binary drivers. |

With how many Linux users have nvidia in their rigs letting this slip into Dapper would be a real shame. Willing to torch my system to help. |

Yup, this issue exists and affects quite a few people.
The problem here is fixing it; these are binary drivers supplied by Nvidia - there's no source code and no way of (us) fixing it directly in the driver.
If anyone knows of a work-around (or manages to work one out) then it's fairly easy to apply it; this also needs people with access to the hardware to test and try to find a work-around.
The real solution is with Nvidia fixing their driver and then only way that is going to happen is if people pursuade them that there's a bug and enough people nag/ask them to concentrate on it.
The tag above isn't really WONTFIX. But more "CANTFIX". |

[upstream] nvidia-glz doesn't restore state on NV35/NV36 cards. Causes random mess on screen or system hang. |
