This seems to be a common problem with nvidia video cards using the |
| 22 |
nvidia binary blobs. I ran into it some time ago. If you don't want to |
| 23 |
get rid of the nvidia card, try the Nouveau open-source drivers. You |
| 24 |
won't get all the acceleration that the Nvidia binaries provide, but at |
| 25 |
least you probably won't get the problems you have now. |
