[dundee] Hardy Heron unstable with NVIDIA proprietary drivers

[David Thornton Snr]

Hi Simon, have been using the NVIDIA proprietary drivers 
on one of my boxes and not using the  NVIDIA proprietary drivers on the other box
With no problems on either. I'm using linux mint 5 RC2 beta 048 on both of them

Subject: [dundee] Hardy Heron unstable with NVIDIA proprietary drivers

Possibly my own fault for using an NVIDIA card, but has anybody else  
found Hardy Heron to be unstable with the NVIDIA proprietary drivers?

When they are not installed everything is fine. Once installed I get  
hard lockups every 12 hours or so which can only be dealt with through  
power cycling the machine. No suspicious entries in any logs after  
rebooting. I have reverted back to using the nv driver but was  
wondering whether my experience was isolated.
