** Description changed: + [Impact] + + Users of Nvidia gfx using the proprietary driver may see screen + corruption during certain operations. + + [Test Case] + + * Install an Nvidia graphics adapter and the proprietary driver. + * Observe the graphics corrupt. + * Install the version of Compiz with this fix. + * Observe corruption is gone. + + [Regression Potential] + + The patch for this was provided by Nvidia. There could be some corner + cases users hit that may cause other issues. That said, enough testing + has been done to confidently say that the gains provided by this fix far + outweigh any corner cases. + + ----------------------- + + Original Description: + == Proposed compiz-fusion-plugins-main patch == See comment 234 by Anders Kaseorg and attached compiz-fusion-plugins-main_0.8.2-0ubuntu2.debdiff. == Original report == Binary package hint: compiz I'm using latest compiz on intrepid. Since jockey-gtk does not work on my box (I already filed a bug), I manually installed nvidia-glx-177 and added the "driver → nvidia" line to xorg.conf. Now I seem to be having some screen refresh problems when using compiz: parts of the screen are refreshed, but others aren't. That means nautilus doesn't show files or folders until I move the cursor over them, firefox doesn't show webpages properly until I scroll down, and so on. Please, tell me if there is any additional info I can provide to find out the cause.
