I ran for a few days without any additional configuration changes; my system didn't even have an xorg.conf on it.

Since that time, I've begun running with an external monitor in TwinView mode when I'm in the office. This required me to add an xorg.conf file to identify my screen layout, but it has not made my system any less stable. I haven't seen a single xorg lockup since installing the proprietary nVidea driver.

And no, I did not remove the old driver from my system. Its existence on the disk is inconsequential.

I'm running with the default ubuntu kernel and not passing it any extra boot-time options. Here's my /proc/cmdline:

BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-24-generic-pae root=UUID=ca9db505-62f4-4b2d-bfc3-446259907421 ro quiet splash
