You have been subscribed to a public bug: I have a fully updated Ubuntu 12.04 x64 installation with Nvidia driver 302.17 enabled. The system contains an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 video card.
The problem I notice is that hardware acceleration stops some while after log in. Immediately after reboot, GLXgears reports up to 3000 FPS. After a few minutes to hours, hardware acceleration stops, which is e.g. noticable by a sluggish response from the user interface. E.g. typing an e-mail becomes impossible, since the letters appear too slow on the screen. Re-running GLXgears in that case reports about 23 FPS. I noticed that the problem does not occur if I keep GLXgears running on the background. I can't find any unusual things in /var/log/xorg.0.log that give hints about what is happening during the occurance of the error. ** Affects: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: 12.04 bot-comment nividia opengl ubuntu unity xorg -- Major OpenGL performance degradation over time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1032187 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
