Public bug reported: The previous available propietary driver for Nvidia was working ok in gutsy, at least everything was up and running with decent speed. After upgrading to hardy black and white bars appeared where there was supposed to be smoke (primarily in games explosions), then I tried downloading the version 173.08 from NVIDIA homepage, installed it and everything went back to normal, well maybe even a little bit better from what I can see.
Guess it is needed to update the driver in hardy to that version, otherwise everytime there is a kernel update we would need to recompile the module manually. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Propietary NVIDIA driver 169.12 causes graphical glitches https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
