Screen freezes on Kubuntu 12.04

Well, if you tried the older kernel and it solved the problem, then you would know that the problem lies in the kernel.

Have you tried using the kernel from Oneiric? Perhaps it is the kernel that is at fault here.

I can't see the point of rolling back to a previous version, I want to see if the problem has been fixed.

I mostly use Mint 12 KDE and Zorin 5.2 which are rock stable, I log into Kubuntu periodically to see if there are any updates and whether the problem has gone away!

It is really weird, there has been several kernel and driver updates yet it is still happening!

I would still like to know why this problem just doesn't happen in Mint 12 KDE, The Nvidia driver version is the same but it is using kernel 3.0.0-17-generic-pae.

It's a bug.

Just had an update to 295.53 from the x-swat archives, they are certainly being busy lately!

Didn't have a freeze since 3 days now. Seems like it stoped automatically after adding/removing some packages.

EDIT: Nope. It still freezes

[tomp01]

Just received a further update yesterday from the X-SWAT PPA and, touch wood, it seems a hell of a lot better now.

[tomp01]

I just had an update to 295.49 Nvidia driver, maybe that will fix it!

Still freezing so that's not the solution.

I noticed that when i change my screen brightness from keyboard that these freezes are most likely to occur

I confirm that.
