DetailsDescription: After I upgraded from nvidia-173.14.12-3 to nvidia-177.80-1, and also upgraded nvidia-utils, the computer crashed when I logged out of kde or gnome, or pressed C-A-Backspace. The problem went away when I downgraded nvidia. I had the same problem after I upgraded to kernel26-2.6.27-2 and nvidia-177.80-2, and upgraded nvidia-utils. As before, the problem went away after downgrading the kernel and nvidia.
To repeat, I had no problem starting X, but the computer froze up after logging out. My video card is Nvidia GEForce 6150 LE, rev 2. I also tried the new nvidia-173xx drivers, but they didn't work at all. Additional info: * package version(s) * config and/or log files etc. Steps to reproduce: |
This task depends upon

I don't think this is a kernel related issue, this is a bug in the nvidia driver. You could try the xorg-server package from testing to see if it occurs there. If it does, please report a bug upstream at nvidia, as we can't and won't fix binary blobs.

Jan, I followed your suggestions and upgraded xorg, but the problem still occurred. I've sent a bug report to Nvidia.
