Re: [Bug 753144] Re: focused, or maximized windows blank
No... it affects only older, integrated nvidia cards. My new nvidia card
is unaffected, same with my friend's. If it were all nvidia products,
people would be knocking down doors at canonical and nvidia, flooding
them with complaints. It affects a good number of people, but most fix
the problem with an older nvidia driver and a few more with BIOS
configurations. Very few cannot walk away with the problem worked
around.
