Hi!
I have laptop HP 8560w (I7 quad core) + NVidia 2000M graphics card. I was able to install linux(es) with nouveau.modeset=0 boot option and then after install i was able to install Nvidia driver (now i have 290.10 for Linux-x86_64).
But then arise the following annoying issue:
Screen (because of inactivity) goes to sleep mode, then I start actions (by using keyboard or mouse) and screen goes active. I am asked for password, and I am able to enter the password, but then monitor starts flashing : every half second it become black and then visible again (it can cause an epileptic attack) and I must log off and log on (of course close all applications - if I am able because of flashing) and then situation is stabilized.
I tried with Ubuntu 11.10 (Gnome 3 and Unity), OpenSuse 12 (KDE) and Linux Mint 12 (Gnome 3, Gnome Classic) and all they have this problem (maybe just frequency of flashing is different ).
Some idea, how to solve this?
There are some other issues - When window of some application is maximized, the mouse pointer focus is not at position where mouse pointer is visible on screen (but one or two centimeters around) - so I select/drag objects on screen I don't want. But I think this is not raleted to NVidia drivers.

Sa?o
