Update - almost a week, and 100% stability. The only issue remaining
is that some software such as Stellarium may freeze X, only recourse
is a "three finger salute".

Of course this shouldn't happen, but is possible because the drivers
(and of course Ubuntu) are still in flux, and so is the application in
question. Things change over time, and I'll of course address the
stellarium issue elsewhere.

Still good. Sluggish at times, especially on an onboard (motherboard)
video setup, especially 720p video in fullsrceen with mplayer at
near-HD resolution (21" Panasync Pro currently. Nice setup, but
possibly am asking too much. Of course I can't afford a brand spanking
new nvidia card either :),.
