Hello, I'm getting quite frustrated that we cannot get this patch into Compiz proper due to the silly licensing issue. So what I have done is create a Compiz PPA that includes the attached patch. The PPA can be found here: https://launchpad.net/~townsend/+archive/compiz-nvidia-refresh- test
This PPA has packages for Precise, Trusty, and Utopic. Could people who are affected by this try out the packages for those Ubuntu releases and report back on whether the issue is resolved or not? I'd really like to get a feel if this is a good fix and if so, try to put pressure on the parties in play to get this included in Compiz. Thanks in advance everyone! I look forward to your feedback. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/269904 Title: Screen refresh problems with nvidia cards Status in Compiz: In Progress Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “compiz-fusion-plugins-main” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-177” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-180” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “compiz” source package in Intrepid: Fix Released Status in “compiz-fusion-plugins-main” source package in Intrepid: Won't Fix Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-177” source package in Intrepid: Won't Fix Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers-180” source package in Intrepid: Invalid Status in “compiz-fusion-plugins-main” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: == Proposed compiz-fusion-plugins-main patch == See comment 234 by Anders Kaseorg and attached compiz-fusion-plugins-main_0.8.2-0ubuntu2.debdiff. == Original report == Binary package hint: compiz I'm using latest compiz on intrepid. Since jockey-gtk does not work on my box (I already filed a bug), I manually installed nvidia-glx-177 and added the "driver → nvidia" line to xorg.conf. Now I seem to be having some screen refresh problems when using compiz: parts of the screen are refreshed, but others aren't. That means nautilus doesn't show files or folders until I move the cursor over them, firefox doesn't show webpages properly until I scroll down, and so on. Please, tell me if there is any additional info I can provide to find out the cause.
