Comment 10 for bug 479296

Well I spoke too soon and I did have the same problem with 8.04 LTS (i.e. a freeze, but mouse moving), but actually I now think that all my problems with the HP Pavilion laptop have been related to the NVIDIA graphics. I took apart the laptop as far as removing the system board, and rebuilt it. Then I upgraded the BIOS. I've done a fresh install of 9.10. Its when I install the NVIDIA Hardware drivers, either 173 or 185 that the system stops working. If I don't install those drivers it seems to work OK. Luckily I don't need high performance graphics, at the moment. I don't think any of these problems are related to pulseaudio.
