@townsend: I have this issue on my Macbook Pro Retina 10.1 with Ubuntu 14.04 using the nvidia card (gt 650m). In many applications, only parts of the screen are refreshed and the parts that are not refreshed flicker heavily (seemingly between old versions of the screen). This is especially a problem in firefox. I tried the following fixes before: - "Force synchronization between X and GLX" in ccsm: no change - turning off "Allow Flipping" in nvidia-settings: removed the flickering but the issue remained otherwise unchanged - updating to newest nvidia driver (now 337.25): no change
I just tried your patched compiz version and it seems that the issue is now completely resolved! -- 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.
