I have the same problem on my new system with Mint Linux 13 using Mate. I don't think it is a memory issue, i have plenty. When i check my .xsession-errors file is see this message that correlates with the blanking problem
mate_bg_crossfade_start: assertion `fade->priv->fading_pixmap != NULL' failed I have seen similar bug reports related to the bg_crossfade. Could this be the culprit? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/729979 Title: [nvidia] Windows appear blank white To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/729979/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
