I thought I would add my experience since I finally got around to trying out the suggestions mentioned in this post.
*Hardware* (relevant output from lspci -v) 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [GeForce Go 7200] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 30b7 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at c7000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Memory at d0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Memory at c6000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16M] Expansion ROM at <unassigned> [disabled] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: nvidia Kernel modules: nvidia_current, nouveau, nvidiafb
*Driver* nvidia 295.40
*OS* Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64
*Method* All I had to do was use the xorg-edgers ppa and everything else was automatic.
Thanks to all who have helped resolve this bug (if you see this). I am thrilled to finally have real Unity with a current driver.
I haven't had any of the segfaults mentioned above, but I have only been running it for a few hours.
