Well, I ended up trying the other Nvidia driver sooner rather than later because of this issue. Literally, the comp is nearly unusable otherwise: the Nvidia configuration screen is too big, resulting in a white out; the ubuntu system settings dialog is too big, resulting in a white out. Neither one of those can be made smaller than it already is. I'm not trying to be a prat here, but I do want to communicate that the symptoms we're experiencing are not trivial.
Now, downgrading the driver seems to have made a pretty big difference. I'm writing this in a maximized FF, and I can maximize Terminal and LibreOffice also (ditto for System settings). The Nvidia version appears to be 173 (I have no idea what the "recommended" one is - the dialog doesn't say). As before, let me know what additional information I can provide. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/758014 Title: ubuntu natty beta nvidia regression - maximize white hang _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
