Freezing with nvidia 100.14.11-1

Just a warning: Arch 64 freezes regularly when using nvidia 100.14.11-1 in the following configuration:
Video: 7300lx (I used 1600x1200, but this might be unimportant)
mainboard with Nvidia 590 chipset
Finally I used version 1.0-9755 and installed with the NVIDIA installer - no more freezings.

Re: Freezing with nvidia 100.14.11-1

As far as I understand we moved on to the beta versions of the driver. Well, I am having serious trouble with all of the nvidia's from 100 something up. None of them is stable for me on a 7400Go. X crashes appear randomly and unreproducable. I'm not able to find a way to get rid of the problem, not even when disabling all 3D whatsoever.

It really just hardware dependent. The same 100+ driver with an integrated office style NVIDIA chipset (6150) works well. It is not the first time I experience problems with 7300 series which may also be true for 7400 series.

No, our version is "stable" (100.14.11).

Ah, that's what makes my system freeze! Thanks for reporting.

P.S. Still waiting for Nouveau...
