You will have to reproduce without it. If it OOPS, then you should report. And if it doesn't, then you'll know who is to blame.
I'll try to reproduce the problem without the proprietary driver and see what happens. However, it could very well be the video card itself is failing. Since my post above, I have seen screen flashes and an unexpected crash of the X server. I've been using the NVidia driver for a long time and never had any problems with it, so I am suspecting a hardware problem...
Could be... but funny it results in kernel oopses.
Ah, you did say 10.3, I didn't see it earlier. If it is a kernel bug, it might have been corrected since. Try first the plain open driver, then try 11.0 if it fails.
I've been thinking of installing 11 on this machine, especially with the improved package management. I'm just afraid it will lock up on me during the install...
Yes, that's a real concern. If you do, install to runlevel 3 only, and when system runs, switch to level 5. It is safer. Not to long ago I always did that: I had a few crashes during installation just while testing video.
Thanks, Carlos!
