[Bug 1288747] Re: [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse

 

Is anyone using the 340.46 driver? If so, do you still see the probelm
manifest?

I wonder if the bug (Bug #1283979 ) I reported could be related to
this...

Title:
  [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse

Bug description:
  Nvidia 334.21 makes the UI jearky, googled and found this on Nvidia
  forums:

  "This looks like a problem caused by the system compositor not
  properly waiting for X rendering to finish before performing OpenGL
  rendering in response. The GL_EXT_x11_sync_object extension was
  designed to solve this problem, but it looks like cogl (the back-end
  library used by GNOME's compositor) doesn't use it yet. "
