Bug#661253: Change of hardware

[Russel Winder]

Hi,

Over the weekend I put a GeForce GE 430 ZONE card into my workstation
and made it the default graphics device. The Quadro 570 device is still
in there but it would take a bit of effort to use it as the graphics
device.  I am finding that there are no unexpected X.org terminations.
So the problem that this bug report is about is definitely focused on
the Quadro 570 card. Of course it could be that the card has developed a
fault and that it is actually a hardware problem and not a software
problem. What is needed is for another Quadro 570 (or equivalent) user
to observe and report in on the problem.

I have though had two incidents of GNOME Shell "freezing" with the GE
430 card as the graphics device using the 302 driver from Experimental.
I am sure this must be a different problem so will if I can get some
data create a new bug report. With this one though X remains fine as
does the machine itself, it is just GNOME Shell that has ceased
responding.

I hate these intermittent problems that cannot be reproduced at will !

I guess the upshot is that without special effort I won't be providing
new data to help with the original bug report.
