[Bug 729979] Re: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white

 

Hey All,

Looking through some of the bug history, it seems this is specific to
Nvidia and the proprietary driver.  I'm thinking this is really a
duplicate of bug #269904.

In that bug, there is a patch provided by Nvidia that hopefully fixes
that issue.  At this time, we cannot get that patch into Compiz proper
due to some silly licensing issue, but I have made a PPA that has the
fix incorporated.  This PPA has packages for Precise, Trusty, and
Utopic.  If anyone would like to test this out and report your results,
please add https://launchpad.net/~townsend/+archive/compiz-nvidia-
refresh-test and give it a try.

I'm hoping that if we can get enough feedback that say this fixes the
issue for many users, we can use that as leverage to get *something*
done about getting the patch merged into Compiz.

Thanks!
