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. p.s.- I think this is a duplicate of bug #269904, but I'll wait on feedback before duplicating this bug. -- 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/1288747 Title: [334] Parts of the UI randomly flicker when moving the mouse Status in Compiz: Triaged Status in “compiz” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Nvidia 334.21 makes the UI jearky, googled and found this on Nvidia forums: "This looks like a problem caused by the system compositor not properly waiting for X rendering to finish before performing OpenGL rendering in response. The GL_EXT_x11_sync_object extension was designed to solve this problem, but it looks like cogl (the back-end library used by GNOME's compositor) doesn't use it yet.
