The 180.11 NVIDIA Accelerated Linux Graphics Driver Set for Linux/x86-64 is available for download via FTP. Please see the README (x86, x86-64) for more information about this release. It seems to fix the font corruption issue I was mentioning earlier. Until we get the 180.11 driver in the repos (if we get it) there a couple of alternative fixes for the font corruption issue: 1) set GlyphCache to 0: nvidia-settings -a GlyphCache=0 Some reports indicate that in some cases the InitialPixmapPlacement needs to be also set to 0 to get rid of the text corruption. YMMV 2) disable sub-pixel hinting in the anti-aliasing settings. ----- This info is provided AS IS and I make absolutely NO WARRANTIES whether express or implied.
