I can confirm that I'm also having this issue on 10.10 x32 with nVidia drivers.
Was having this issue with 10.04 as well. yes with Visual effects disabled you can get Client side info but with visual effects enabled it does not automatically disable when someone connects. If you setup a vncserver :1 and higher the issue does not present itself...it only affects the main Desktop vncserver :0 in earlier versions there was a built in visual effects auto disable when VNC connected to the main desktop...but not since 9.14. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to lucid-backports. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/353126 Title: Compiz / vnc screen refresh with nvidia-restricted driver/VirtualBox/ATI fglrx driver using X.org -- ubuntu-backports mailing list ubuntu-backports@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-backports
