You have been subscribed to a public bug: I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 a number of times and this is the first I can say that I have ever seen this. After initial install I received the prompt about hardware drivers available and I enabled the nvidia proprietary driver, version 180 recommended. Rebooted and everything looked ok until I tried to Maximize a window. I cannot really describe accurately what happened other than the system became unusable. Only part of the application window was drawn at maximum size, and the mouse/keyboard didn't work correctly - I could still see the mouse move, but clicking had no effect anywhere. Rebooted a couple times and tried different applications (Firefox, terminal, gnome settings applications, etc) all with same effect. Only way to get out was to press the power button to initiate a shutdown. When this was pressed could see part of the shutdown prompt window, but not the entire thing.
Tried all other window operations, dragging, moving, resizing via drag, minimize - all had zero issues. Tried to downgrade the nvidia driver to version 173 - rebooted - this time when maximizing a window the system at least is still usable (I can move the mouse around and it responds to clicks and can use it to close the window) - BUT there are still issues. For example if I maximize a Terminal window - the prompt disappears and I cannot type. If I click the maximize box again to return to original size, able to see prompt and use the window. If I maximize a window (e.g. Firefox), close it, then click the icon to start it again, it attempts to start Maximized and is not functional (cannot highlight address to type in new URL) The monitor is an Acer H233H - resolution set to Automatic (1920x1080 used) I'm going to try to disable the proprietary drivers to see if the nv driver has better results (assuming it's available). System is 9.04 release with latest updates applied. I've attached xorg.conf, a hwinfo report and the results of lspci -vv. Please let me know what else would be helpful - I will try to get a couple screen snapshots if I can. Should I also try building the latest nvidia driver from nvidia.com?
