Everything was fine when my ThinkPad T61p worked with the version 177 or 173 of NVIDIA Graphics Driver. When I got a notification that there was a new version 180 available, I was happy to upgrade it at once. Then problems came… sometimes my laptop got sudden black-screen crash on both Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.04! Yes, it's black-screen, not Microsoft style blue-screen.

I found the following entries in /var/log/messages

Apr 25 12:35:56 hystp2 kernel: [ 5123.002987] Xorg[2927]: segfault at 5 ip b64df209 sp bfb99f60 error 4 in nvidia_drv.so[b6491000+3b4000]
Apr 25 12:35:56 hystp2 bonobo-activation-server (huangys-6077): could not associate with desktop session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-n45hu1LoDE

Seems that keeping crash is caused by NVIDIA driver. I have to switch back to 173. Is there any better solution than back to an old version?

Years passed, lacking of hardware driver support is still a big problem for Linux promotion. Although NVIDIA driver has bugs, it supports Linux better than ATI. Speaking of ATI driver for Linux… it really sucks.

    I just upgraded to 180 and 9.04 and after the Ubuntu line bar loading screen it goes right into a blank black screen. =(

    “Linux不能成为PC消费市场的主流，除了用户习惯和推广成本上的原因，还因为Linux社区既不保证对更高的硬件性能的需求，也不保证规划中的产品可以按时发货。”——Keso

    In general, keso 的说法成立，不过受限于他技术背景的缺失，其看法有些过时和流俗了。在这个设备逐渐多样化的时代，操作系统必然会多样化。Android 的流行就是一例，而 Android 也是基于 Linux 的，可以看作是 Linux 分发版变种。另外类似 Ubuntu 这样的主攻 PC 桌面的分发版也很好地说明了 Linux 也可以易用且按时发货，而且其开发周期比 Windows 短，也更具创新精神，为用户带来更好更丰富的体验。时代已经开始变化了，我们的头脑和看法需要跟进这变化。
