[Bug 563054] [NEW] Display corruption in Lucid

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Since upgrading from karmic desktop to lucid I have started to
experience display corruption.  All my windows start to have dotted
lines drawn across them, and also the desktop.  The issue does not occur
immediately after starting X, and can sometimes take a long time to
occur.  However, once it does occur, it gradually starts to affect all
windows and the level of corruption starts to increase.  It does appear
that windows are affected individually, rather than the entire display
being affected as one big canvas.  See attachment for an example of the
corruption in a Firefox window.

The behaviour in this bug is very similar to that in bug #546827.
However, that issue has now been fixed for the original reporter but is
not fixed with my set up.

I am using an nvidia GeForce 7600 GS, running the nvidia-glx-185 driver.
It's a multi-monitor setup using xinerama.
