Hein, 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.

With Nouveau drivers it seems to work fine, but after some time, I get artefacts in programs, on the desktop and the unity bar. It gets unusable very fast. Restarting X solves the problem, but causes (obviously) a restart of all running apps. I have added x-edgers ppa instead of the regular source, but this brings only a very slight improvement (at least so it seems), Well, I have includes a screenshot of my messed up desktop. I have seen that this was a problem in the past as well (found some bug reports for plain vanilla debian).
