Bryce,

If you are on Skype contact me via separate email and we can
test this out and have clarify the issue.  I am about 96% sure that
I tested this with the non-proprietary nvidia driver with a friend and
we still had the problem.  If that is the case I am not happy about
the bug being closed.

Bob

> When using the nvidia-restricted or some ATI drivers and compiz desktop effects the vnc server will not refresh the screen. This is being caused by the xserver not getting "damaged" by the nvidia-restricted drivers. Linked bugs confirm this is not an issue on intel chipsets or nv driver.
