[Gllug] Nvidia driver freezes my system

[Richard Jones]

The sad fact is that because NVidia's drivers don't come with source,
there is nothing anyone except NVidia can do about this. You should
try getting technical support from them.

I could facetiously suggest that you try lobbying NVidia to release
source code to their drivers (the kernel & XFree parts) so that people
can fix problems like this, but allegedly they use patented algorithms
in their software, and they are none-too-keen to let their competitors
see this and sue them over it.

All in all, something of a minefield, and another good reason to
support only Free-as-in-FSF software.

Rich.
