Using Ubuntu 12.04 and the Steam client. Loading the game to menu works. When I try and load any type of game though I experience massive swapping which hammers the hard drive for 30 mins. I end up having to force power off the computer.

By providing the information in the manner requested at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/, we could more readily solve the issue.

First question: What driver and version do you currently use?

The page linked doesn't contain information about what information to add to issue tickets. (unless there is something I've missed in that page)

NVidia Driver: 310.14
NV-Control Version 1.28
