Comment 3 for bug 302881

If it's only available in Intrepid, then I must have remembered wrong. I have a number of Kubuntu systems, most on Intrepid but a couple still on Hardy, and I was reasonably sure that I seen 177.80 on this Hardy machine. But given what you've said, I must have mixed this up with a different machine.

Thanks for the response, and go ahead and mark this as invalid. That said, the video still suddenly became terribly unstable after the last system update. If I boot into 2.6.24-19 using the 169.12 driver, it becomes stable. If I boot into 2.6.27-9 using the 169.12 driver, the video gets corrupt in less than a minute, then loses its signal to the monitor, and the machine becomes unresponsive to the keyboard until xorg eventually crashes. I must have put that together with my faulty recollection about where I have the 177.80 driver, and assumed I used to have it on this machine.
