** Description changed: - There seems to be a bug somewhere in [ kernel OR xorg OR nvidia proprietary driver ] in the display stack. - After the laptop ( dell XPS L501X ) resumes from suspend there are wide black borders around all windows with close/minimize/maximize buttons blacked out. - - [ image attached: black border on all windows ] - - It occurs inconsistently, as it doesn't happen every time the computer resumes. - ( Slight possibility that it usually occurs after long suspend, i.e. resuming after long time ). - ================================================================================= + While using the nvidia proprietary drivers in 14.04 - 16.04, my Dell XPS + L501X resumes from suspend, but displays wide black borders around all + windows with close/minimize/maximize buttons blacked out as per attached + screenshot. It occurs inconsistently, as it doesn't happen every time + the computer resumes. Also there seems to be certain amount of performance degradation as if - the graphics driver was running at half-strength ( and I don't mean - software-only rendering, neither do I mean switch over to nouveau open - source driver ) + the graphics driver was running at half-strength. The "nVidia X Server + Settings" app suggests its in maximum performance mode. - The "nVidia X Server Settings" app suggests its in maximum performance - mode. + Adhoc Workaround: switch display layout (I have an external monitor/TV + attached to HDMI port) changing anything such as arrangement or + resolution of the displays, etc. corrects the black border issue. - ================================================================================== - - Adhoc Workaround: switch display layout ( I have an external monitor/TV - attached to HDMI port ) changing anything such as arrangement or - resolution of the displays, etcetera... corrects the black border issue - ( and also possibly performance issue ) - - This bug has been present in Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04, 15.10 and now in 16.04 - as well. ( It was probably present before that as well ) - - ================================================================================== - - p.s. this is only partial duplicate of black border issue as the black - borders appear on every window, not just windows with new header bars or - client side decoration... + WORKAROUND: Use nouveau.
