Good news! No repro on freshly-installed, fully up-to-date Ubuntu 12.10 amd64 using nvidia-current (version 304.51.really.304.43-0ubuntu1). I tested Unity, GNOME Shell, and GNOME Classic (No Effects) with glxgears and YouTube and I verifed that PowerMizer was switching performance levels. Never saw any blinking.
I'm leaving the bug status as Expired since technically 12.10 doesn't use the 180-series drivers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164589 Title: Occasional screen-wide "blink" when using opengl apps (compiz also) and Nvidia cards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22/+bug/164589/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
