Hi Rocky
Well that's great to hear about the Nouveau progress. I'm still feeling rather silly for my previous naive stubbornness, & [especially given the apparently improved Nouveau design] am now feeling cautiously optimistic that now i'm finally using it, hopefully those irritating freezes will be a thing of the past...
Just to clarify... this thread concerns my Tower, not my Lappy. In https://forums.mauilinux.org/showthread.php?tid=24247 you correctly recognised that my Lappy's "NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 420M] [10de:0df1] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])" was rather elderly. However my Tower is newer than my Lappy, & its GPU is "NVIDIA GF119 [GeForce GT 610] bus-ID: 01:00.0". I've now modified this thread's subject line to make it easier to tell to which pc it applies. Sorry for the confusion.
