["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

teledyn, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1317046

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes
button for attaching additional debugging information. As well, please
note given that the information from the prior release is already
available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would
not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Extensive flicker on NVIDIA since yesterday's update

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I did an apt-get upgrade yesterday and rebooted, and since then my
  desktop windows flicker on changes enough to make the system difficult
  to use.  For example, pop-ups on chrome will flicker between two spots
  over and over and continue to flicker so long as I am typing
  (happening right now on each keystroke typing here, fragments of a
  Chrome plugin notification will alternate positions on each
  keystroke).

  Also in chrome, changing tabs will cause the previous and next tab to
  flicker alternating rapidly for a moment before the new selection is
  set. This effect happens changing any windows so it isn't peculiar to
  Chrome.  I noticed also that on rebooting after the upgrade, the
  settings for my two monitor display had been reset to the defaults.

  Prior to the update, the window manager was working fine.
