Public bug reported:

After upgrading to Wily, I'm experiencing severe graphics corruption in
KDE/Plasma. My graphics card is "01:00.0 VGA compatible controller:
NVIDIA Corporation GT218M [NVS 3100M] (rev a2)" and I use the nouveau
drivers. My problem matches that of Freedesktop.org bug 92504 [1] and
applying the patch from its comment 23 [2] seems to alleviate my
problem.

After correcting line numbers, the patch applies cleanly to the Wily
kernel. I do not understand the nouveau code or the patch, but it seems
the patch could easily be backported to correct a severe problem that
surely affects a lot of users.
