@Sir Sword: This problem only occurs when installing the latest nvidia drivers - when the "Additional Drivers" utility is used you'll get the driver version 331.38 (as far as I know). Unless very recent Nvidia cards are in use version 331.38 should work very well.

I can confirm this bug with all (official Ubuntu + xorg-edgers PPA) Nvidia drivers on Ubuntu 14.04 (current 343.22 in use with GeForce GTX 570 ). In my case there was only one solution that was really working so far by experimenting without patch: nvidia-settings -Disabling the Allow Flipping option -set Image Settings to High Performance -set PowerMizer Settings to Prefer Maximum Performance I also installed the patch and testing it at the moment. It seems that 95% of flickering issues are solved even if I cant say that for sure after my short experience ( some hours ).

[Compiz] [Bug 1288747] Re: [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse
Just a quick update on this. The issue came back when Ubuntu updated my compiz packages to the latest 1:0.9.11.1+14.04.20140701-0ubuntu1 versions. I updated to NVIDIA 340.24, and that didn't help. I had to actually stop lightdm from a tty and manually remove the entire ubuntu-desktop and associated packages (including compiz). Then I had to use apt-get install and manually type in the versions of compiz ,compiz-core,compiz-default-plugins,compiz-gnome,libcompizconfig, and libdecorations to install them all. Then I had to use the dpkg --set- selections to make sure my packages wouldn't get overwritten. Then I reinstalled ubuntu-desktop.

I had a 9600GT with unbuntu 14.04 and experienced no problem. I changed for a GeForce GTX 750 Ti and this flickering problem appeared. It went out using the workaround of post #48. Now I reverted the workaround of post #48 and I am testing Christopher Townsend's PPA. So far so good, except that I maybe experience more crashes.

[Compiz] [Bug 1288747] Re: [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse
Hello, I'm getting quite frustrated that we cannot get this patch into Compiz proper due to the silly licensing issue. So what I have done is create a Compiz PPA that includes the attached patch. The PPA can be found here: https://launchpad.net/~townsend/+archive/compiz-nvidia-refresh-test This PPA has packages for Precise, Trusty, and Utopic. Could people who are affected by this try out the packages for those Ubuntu releases and report back on whether the issue is resolved or not? I'd really like to get a feel if this is a good fix and if so, try to put pressure on the parties in play to get this included in Compiz. Thanks in advance everyone! I look forward to your feedback. p.s.- I think this is a duplicate of bug #269904, but I'll wait on feedback before duplicating this bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1288747 Title: [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1288747/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Compiz] [Bug 1288747] Re: [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse
Commenting here to keep this bug alive, as it is incredibly frustrating. This happens to me with driver version >331.67. FWIW, I'm using a GTX770. Looks like the mutter bug (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728464) is almost fixed and the patches are pretty close to being accepted. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #728464 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=728464 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1288747 Title: [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1288747/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Compiz] [Bug 1288747] Re: [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse
After using my system for a few weeks with the workaround I do notice a difference in some of the actions I perform in the OS. Opening the window spread is very sluggish.

ive found that you can also use "force sync between X and GLX" to fix it, i belive this works better since i dont think you have to redraw everything just the damaged part. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1288747 Title: [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1288747/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
