Comment 29 for bug 725434

I got tired of nouveau freezing my desktop (at least I assume that's what it was, maybe it's just compiz itself) and downgraded libcairo2 to the "maverick-updates" version ( http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick-updates/libcairo2 ). It's been about an hour and my computer hasn't exploded yet. I'm using the proprietary Nvidia driver with an onboard 6150SE.

I have 2gb RAM, and contrary to other opinions, it affected my system very noticeably and forced much swapping whereas none was needed before. I have a 2.5Ghz dual core (albeit a bit dated) and programs that normally open instantly were, well, not. Hope this gets fixed soon!
