Hi Stefan,
     The kernel is reported as 3.8.0-19-generic and the driver I'm using 
is 310.44 there is a 310.44 updates and also a 304.88, 304.88 updates 
and a number of others.  I've given 304.88 a try same thing.  Nouveau 
driver crashed me had to do a HW reset, pcb runs but nouveau looks like 
my first vga under DOS and is running in SW rendering mode.  Next 310 
updates, looks like still nouveau driver.  Back to 310 recommended and 
had to reboot to take effect. OH NO I'm dead, open terminal.
sudo apt-get autoremove nvidia*
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get install nvidia-319
sudo apt-get update
     and Driver Manager shows Nvidia 319, all for no result with pcb.  
I'll have to use the laptop for now.  Ian
