[Bug 850649] Re: gnome-terminal extremely slow and display buggy

 

For all nvidia users, you could try to remove the GL cache:

rm ~/.nv (driver <346)
rm ~/.cache/.nv (driver 346)

Then disable the cache completely:

echo -e 'export __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE=0' >> ~/.profile

Restart / relogin afterwards. This fixed the issue for me.
