hadobac, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-nouveau REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Since installation, I switch to Nvidia driver and it works alright, but the windows performance is choppy, especially windows animation effects. Disabling Sync to VBlank and compression make it works a bit smoother, but still unacceptable. At least there are no screen tearing and stuff. I decide to give Nouveau driver, holy god the windows compiz effects are smooth butter. - What I expect to happen: Dash open normnally and smoothly - What happened instead: screen tearing, graphical flickering unless I close Dash. The libgl1-mesa-dri-experimental package does not help. http://i.stack.imgur.com/m8Y5H.jpg http://i.stack.imgur.com/aJ8B0.png Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal xserver-xorg-video-nouveau: Installed: 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu3 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.5.0-17.28-generic 3.5.5 Uname: Linux 3.5.0-17-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu6 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz Date: Sun Nov 11 12:35:50 2012 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: quantal DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: bcmwl, 5.100.82.112+bdcom, 3.5.0-17-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, if not too technical GraphicsCard: NVIDIA Corporation G86 [GeForce 8400M GS] [10de:0427] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:0227] InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-10-19 (22 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) MachineType: Dell Inc.
