Title:
  [nvidia] Screen corrupts after a while: Most text elements replaced
  with horizontal, colored bars

Status in nvidia-graphics-drivers package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  After some time my screen corrupts in that most text elements are
  replaced with horizontal lines that seem to be colored according to
  surrounding colors before the corruption (see screenshot). The screen
  still reacts to mouse and keyboard as before, but whatever control
  elements are redrawn contain those lines. Interestingly, some elements
  (like the Skype icon in the screenshot, or Java applications) do not
  suffer from this corruption. Switching to a console by pressing
  CTRL+ALT+F1 and then switching back into X  solves the problem for the
  moment; the screen is still corrupted but forcing it do be redrawn by
  dragging around windows etc. redraws things correctly.

  Unfortunately I have not been able to force the corruption by doing
  something specific. I am usually using two monitors connected to one
  graphics card (one connected through DVI and one through VGA) and it
  seems like the issue arises mostly when I have one monitor connected
  only (either on the DVI or the VGA port). I have seen it with two
  monitors also but much, much less frequently.

  I think to remember not having this issue before upgrading to Lucid
  Lynx. It was definitely not there half a year ago. My guess would be
  it started after an nvidia driver update.
