1). I'm currently using an Nvidia driver from the Official Ubuntu Driver PPA here: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
I have used driver versions that are just in the normal Ubuntu repositories and they still have graphical glitches. 2). No, not that I'm aware of. As said before, the graphical glitches in 16.04 isn't as bad or frequent as in 15.10. However, the overview corruption, bootloader screen being shown up until the login screen, and the bootloader cutout on each TTY screen is the same. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575412 Title: Graphical glitches when certain OpenGL games go fullscreen Status in Ubuntu GNOME: New Status in Ubuntu GNOME xenial series: New Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When launching certain OpenGL games, graphical glitches consisting of current or recently closed applications can be seen at the very bottom of the screen as the window goes fullscreen. This mostly only happens on games that load a lot of data before starting. Smaller games usually start with little or not graphical glitches. While I am not 100% sure, this bug may also be causing a cut-out of the bootloader on all TTY console screens, making them very hard to use as well as the bootloader screen showing until the Gnome shell loads.
