Public bug reported: hardware: XFX gtx260
nvidia-glx-180 used to work just fine under 9.04. Upgrade to 9.10 (and finally, out of sheer frustration, re-install to 9.10) saw the introduction of this bug. An application which makes use of GL under Compiz causes graphics corruption and instability with Compiz. Certain textures (read: most icons as well as some window internals, eg Firefox page display) are replaced with corrupted messes instead of their correct contents. Originally, I figured this was a Compiz issue, but IT'S NOT. Upgrading my nvidia drivers to to version 190.42-0ubuntu1~karmic~nvidiavdpauppa2 by using the ppa at: deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/nvidia-vdpau/ppa/ubuntu karmic main causes the problem to cease. I've been running these drivers for a little under a week and the corruption issue which would show up from a GL-based screensaver within a day of a X restart is no more. So I'm quite confident that the 185 drivers in 9.10 at the moment (185.18.36-0ubuntu9) are the problem.
