Bug Description

X-server hangs while starting some GTK programs
Bug only happens with proprietary nvidia drivers. With nouveau all works fine
In logs I pay attention on those strings:

Hi, I also get this bug after the upgrade to natty in kubuntu with the desktop effects enabled if I resize konsole. Disabling the effects the bug seems to disappear. It seems to be the Nvidia driver: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=116544&p=1 . My GPU is
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [GeForce GT 330M] (rev a2)

After having used Nvidia 270.41.06 for few days is seems very problematic. The freezing of Nvidia 270.41.06 is known (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=160115) and there is also a performance regression described in http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=161721. I would prefer the old 260.19.06 of maveric and maybe the newer 70.41.06 only for newer GPU that 260.19.06 does not support.

What's the status on this bug? I also ran into it (Natty 64bit, GeForce GTX 240, nVidia 270.41.06 from natty-restricted).

Did anyone already try with driver version 275? I'd do so myself if I knew that I could completely remove it again in case I want/need to.

Not affirmative, but older cards (GF9 and lower) don't seem to be affected. Also not affected -- and this is affirmative -- is the legacy 173 driver with a GeForce FX 5900XT on Natty 32bit.

Also not affirmative: I just heard that the 275 driver fixes this issue, so it might be worth it to package the 275 for at least Natty.

After installing the 275 driver from Roberto Ferramosca's PPA I can confirm that it fixes this bug.

For me the recent nvidia drivers from oneric (nvidia-current 280.13-0ubuntu6) fixed the problems.
