[Bug 269904] Re: Screen refresh problems with nvidia cards

 

Hi,

The problem I described in comment #334 still happens.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/269904/comments/334

Reproduced with:
vivid daily-live dated 20141218,
compiz 1:0.9.12.0+15.04.20141210.2-0ubuntu1 (via "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade"),
nvidia-304 304.125-0ubuntu1 (via "ubuntu-drivers autoinstall").

The GPU, according to lspci, is: 00:0d.0 VGA compatible controller:
NVIDIA Corporation C61 [GeForce 6150SE nForce 430] (rev a2)

If I turn off X11 Sync for the opengl plugin, everything works as
before.

Do you want me to file a separate bug about that?

Bug description:
  == Proposed compiz-fusion-plugins-main patch ==
  See comment 234 by Anders Kaseorg and attached compiz-fusion-plugins-main_0.8.2-0ubuntu2.debdiff.

  == Original report ==
  Binary package hint: compiz

  I'm using latest compiz on intrepid.

  Since jockey-gtk does not work on my box (I already filed a bug), I
  manually installed nvidia-glx-177 and added the "driver → nvidia" line
  to xorg.conf.

  Now I seem to be having some screen refresh problems when using
  compiz: parts of the screen are refreshed, but others aren't. That
  means nautilus doesn't show files or folders until I move the cursor
  over them, firefox doesn't show webpages properly until I scroll down,
  and so on.

  Please, tell me if there is any additional info I can provide to find
  out the cause.
